Cincinnati Post -30-

In the mail: A package containing two copies of the final edition of The Cincinnati Post, published on Dec. 31, 2007. It's a fine final edition, with a perfect headline. I once thought about collecting final editions of dead newspapers, but it was rather difficult to get papers from cities where I knew nobody. Still, I managed to get copies of final editions of the Knoxville Journal (1991), The Richmond News Leader (1992), and The Anchorage Times (1992), and the Nashville Banner (1988). And now The Cincinnati Post.

Which reminds me, I still have more than a dozen copies left of the final edition of the Nashville Banner, published Feb. 20, 1998. I'll send one to the next 10 people who drop $50 in the PayPal tip jar... Just make sure to email me your PayPal receipt and your mailing address. Send it to bill-at-billhobbs-dot-com.
