These papers were originally archived by libraries which were not often open on Sunday and lacked the foresight to save Sunday papers, because of this, Sunday editions are rare and hard to supply. We will endeavour to supply you with Sunday editions where possible, however, if this is not possible your date will be automatically substituted for the closest date in stock.
Please note that papers published on the days of key news events, such as Lunar landings, are rare and may carry a surcharge.
Please note that all copies of the Times prior to May 1966 did not carry headline news but published Births, Deaths and Marriages on its front page.
Once an order has been placed, it may not be possible to amend your personalisation.
Please note that these are original newspapers and whilst every effort has been made to maintain these in storage they may have age related imperfections.
