My mom is fascinated by the story of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Elliot">Jim Elliot</a>, a missionary who, along with four other companions, was killed by Auca (Huaorani) Indians in Ecuador, and the subsequent missionary effort that this spawned. This effort came as a direct result of a photo essay about the five missionaries published by Life magazine in January of 1956. <br> <br> So I would love get a copy of this magazine for my mom for Christmas this year. Unfortunately, my sources on the internet are coming up dry. I just missed it on eBay, and the several stores selling back issues of magazines that I found on Google are out of stock. <br> <br> So my question for you is this: Where can I find the January 30, 1956 issue of Life magazine? The cover story is Henry Ford II At River Rouge. You can see the cover at the <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300056241288&rd=1&rd=1">eBay Auction</a> that I just missed. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.52648 Thu, 07 Dec 2006 18:21:15 -0800 1956 backissue magazine old shopping JDHarper
