Got a 1895 magazine from them bc that's the same year that my great grandfather was born, it's insanely cool to have that snapshot of history

I can't say enough about Brenda.I kept putting off getting a Life magazine for my father in-law who is turning 100,so I called Brenda to make sure it would arrive on time.She not only called me back within minutes, but assured me she would have it shipped within 2 days.If you can't think of a birthday gift for someone who has every thing or doesn't need more stuff,a magazine from the week or month they where born is a great idea.Mom is next, but shes only going to be 94.

Brenda takes such pride in her collection. The quality of her magazines are exceptional and her service is welcoming and warm, and of course, professional. I am excited to give my gems as Christmas gifts, allowing family to see what happened the month and year they were born. Thank you, Brenda!

Excellent products and service! Thrilled beyond measure with 2Neat. Magazines were in great condition, arrived carefully packaged, and earlier than expected. They are obviously well organized. I tried to order from other sellers, only to be told afterwards that the issue wasn't really available. Thank you, 2Neat!

I had a fantastic experience with Brenda at 2Neat! When I had questions, Brenda was quick to answer and always very professional yet also personal. I took advantage of the BOGO on the website and purchased 8 magazines for a stellar price! The magazines arrived very quickly and the quality was wonderful. I cannot recommend Brenda and 2Neat enough. Fabulous magazine selection, quality, professionalism, quick shipping times, and exceptional customer service. I will definitely order from 2Neat again! :)

Wonderful experience! I placed my order and then realized my error on the recipient’s address. I left a message and they returned my call immediately and corrected my error. The magazine arrived faster than I thought it would! This was a 75th birthday gift, and they were thrilled! Great service!

A totally positive and pleasant experience! I asked Brenda a question before purchasing and she got right back to me and was very personable, which is increasingly rare in these computerized answer days. I received the magazine very promptly, and it was exceedingly well-packaged for protection. The magazine itself was in excellent condition and I am so pleased to have it. The prices are more than fair, too. I highly recommend this store.

Brenda was an absolute pleasure to work with. She provided exactly what I asked for, i ordered a magazine published in 1960 and it is in immaculate condition! She sent it professionally, with a smile and the friendliest of notes on the packaging thanking our USPS workers who are working so hard during this pandemic. Very classy, Brenda. Very Classy! I won't hesitate to recommend you to others.

This place is the best!! Brenda is so nice and quick to respond and the VERY old magazine I bought from her was in great shape and it arrived much sooner than I would have expected. It really meant a lot to me because it’s an old Look magazine with a picture of my dad in high school on the cover!

What a pleasure to deal with Brenda. She was very precise in every detail of handling my order; and the order arrived promptly, carefully wrapped in a protective sleeve. How nice to encounter someone who cares a great deal about conducting her business so professionally. I look forward to working with her again.

I was amazed that I found that specific Life Magazine on your site after a lot of searching on the internet. It was for my dad. He was one of the workers depicted in the article called Inch by Inch. It told the story of the gas pipeline being constructed in 1953 from the province of Alberta to British Columbia in Canada. I was very pleased that your particular site was able to provide me with the magazine. The magazine came to me promptly and in very good condition. My dad was thrilled to have a copy of that magazine!

I was so pleased to find this website! I wanted a copy of a cookbook for my daughter-in-law that I received as a wedding gift over 40 years ago! I was delighted to find that I could get two copies and they were in great condition! I also needed a copy of a Life Magazine dated 1972. They were so reasonably priced and arrived very promptly! I would highly recommend this if you’re searching for an out of copy book or magazine!

Incredible finds!! Prompt, professional service! We ordered a few Life Magazines from the late 60s for some research and Brenda mailed these to us right away. She was super helpful and communicative and the magazines were in beautiful condition. The website is easy to navigate and there are photos uploaded so you know exactly what you’re getting. Thanks for such a positive experience. We will definitely be back on the site in the near future.

I have purchased Life Humor Magazines from 2Neat across many years and have found their inventory to be outstanding. I've assembled an extensive collection and used them to find hard to find issues. Their grading is very conservative so you are always assured value. I highly recommend 2Neat Books and Magazines.
