Magazine & Book Market

Sinclair users were spoiled for choice when it came to magazines and books for their machines. A wide selection was available for all the Sinclair computers, with the exception of the very earliest (the MK 14 and ZX80, neither of which was around for long enough to sustain a publishing market). Spectrum magazines in particular had very large circulations and so are still quite easy to find today.

Please note that items offered for sale through eBay are usually second-hand and sold without any guarantees of any sort. They may well be sold without packaging or instructions, and may not even work at all. If you have any queries about an item being auctioned, please contact the seller. Planet Sinclair cannot take any responsibility for your transactions on eBay. Always ensure that you know what you are buying!
