I am revising this request in a somewhat unusual manner, as ARandomName123 found a WorldCat listing for Nova and it appears to be held in the National Library of Scotland. NLS is able to provide scans of documents, but the cost in GPB is somewhat prohibitive, since there is a £16.80 minimum charge even for one scan. As it happens, I have an active RSX request for an issue of another difficult-to-find magazine, Time Out, which is also held at the NLS. I am wondering if the pilot would be willing to pay for the NLS to make scans of these articles for me, since two scans will cost the same as one. [Edited again to add a third one, since three will also cost the same as one!]
- Emin, Tracey (June 2000). "Who: Tracey Emin, Juergen Teller, What: Alexander McQueen Collection Autumn/Winter 2000, Where: Gainsborough Film Studios, London N1". Nova (UK magazine) revival.
- V, Lorna (September 24 1997–October 1, 1997). "All Hail McQueen". Time Out no. 1414.
- Hume, M. (August 1996). "Scissorhands". Harpers and Queen no. 82.
The Nova issue contains a review of McQueen's Eshu collection, which will be useful for the article's reception section. I would like to see the full text of Emin's review, as it appears to be fairly negative based on the few quotes I've seen, and it would help to provide balanced coverage of the collection.
The Time Out interview is impossible to find online in its unedited form. The version available online in the book Time Out Interviews has been edited down and is missing the content I need. It will be useful for my latest article, Banshee, and apparently contains discussion of several other McQueen collections, so I will cite it wherever possible.
The Harpers and Queen interview is also not available online or in the WMF library insofar as I can tell.
