Clearly you need 3 or 4 attractive summer interns to come over and sort you out - then you need a bloody museum to put all those posters in! Does the Palestinian government have any money to build something?? - unless of course it would become some kind of target. Just goes to show nothing in that part of the world is simple!!

I've recently negotiated a swap with CSPG in Los Angeles - it took months before they could spare the time to go through there collection but we got there eventually. Whilst I'm not keen to repeat the experience I appreciate with these monster archives finding a few key posters is no simple task - I suspect you may well have a number of the designs I am after so I'll set aside the two Ben Barka's for you for a period - I have another collector based in San Francisco who is also interested in the Che (poncho) one but needs to check her collection for dupes also - no pressure :)

To recap in addition to the posters on my wanted list (attached again) I would also be interested in the Sahara one (Alberto Blanco, 1983). If it is humanly possible to scan through a few portfolios and find some dupes then I'm more than happy to offer you mine in exchange - no messing around bish bash bosh SORTED :)

Also if you can send me the details of the other collector it would be great.

Thanks again for getting back to me - fingers crossed we can help each other out.
