I have the first issue of Your Computer (Australia) and the very first issue of Australian Commodore Review.
 
I have heaps of The One, Run! and Compute Magazines sitting in boxes downstairs....

I am very interested in preserving the Your Computer magazines. I got in touch with Les Bell (the founder and editor), but doesn't have any copies, even for his own use. The Your Computer Bumper Book of Pocket Programs is available on my page at http://amigan.1emu.net/aw/ but nothing else seems to be available. Would it be possible for you to scan the issue you have? That would be greatly appreciated.

Yes certainly possible.  There was only 30,000 copies made of issue 1.
 
There was a big fire at the Your Computer office and all the issues they had there were destroyed.  They even printed an advert requesting for people who had issues to send them in so they could be preserved.
 
I dont know how well this went, not so well by the sounds of it.
 
I'm in the process of scanning Amiga / ST format and all of Amiga Format magazines (missing two issues and two of the annuals) but can interrupt that and scan this issue.  Give me a week, are you an Aussie?

Do you have the last two issues (88/89?) of The ONE AMIGA?
I'd have to check in my 30 odd boxes of magazines I have downstairs.
