NEW SCANS!
When I began the project of digitizing all issues of
TWT in 2014 I only had my ordinary office scanner,
way inadequate for the job. And the results I admit
showed it. Also, I had to borrow issues of TWT from
various archives, taking years to get all of them.

Now, courtesy of the U of H I have access to a
complete set, allowing me to do the new scanning in
a more ordered method, and the biggest help was
being able (in mid-2019) to buy an almost professional level scanner, making all my
work much better.

The year 1976 was done during
February 2023.

The edition from 2/28/76 had two problems. One, access to a copy was only found in a
hard-bound edition, graciously loaned by GCAM. Therefore, maintaining a flat surface
for taking digital snapshots was quite difficult. Second, the printing of that issue itself
was flawed, and was extremely light. Even so, I am grateful to have this rare scan.
But if anyone can provide a better scan I would be most appreciative.
This is our history we are saving.

The article below, from Cruise, December 1978, has an interview
with Jim Cagle and Jim Chappell, who bought TWT in June 1976.
They were owners of the bookstores Studz News and The Asylum.

Chappell's last name was misspelled in the article

below, from TWT, Leonard Matlovich and Jim Chappell

Below, an unusual commentary by another publication mentioning TWT;
I have no idea if any of it is true.
