TAM-Bulletin - 1985

In the 80-ies I issued the TAM-Bulletin. A Mail-Art magazine that was sent out with lots of Mail-Art information about the network. Some copies now pop up on the Internet. Here is a sample from 1985, sent to Mr. Zan in the USA. :


He scanned it with the little note I added to it and published in on facebook. All originals of the TAM-Bulletin are still in the TAM-Archive. These pages were all typed on a typewriter. The pre-computer days were so much fun but also labour intensive....

Free Download

Only a selected set of books is free for download. Mostly because the other want the information just to be out there for free. Some new publications by TAM are in the beginning also available for free download but that option is removed after a few months to stimulate the sale of the real books which I hope will end up in collections, archives, libraries and museums. Sometimes printed versions of the books are donated to specific libraries (like MoMa Library New York, Schwering Museum Library Germany) to make the information available for the next generation too.
