Never sold, nor even saw a copy of GRIT, but I grew up in the urban sprawl of Northern NJ. I think GRT's demographic was rural America. Did finally see a copy, though, when I worked in a large bookstore with an extensive selection of magazines in the late 70s. All I ever sent for were the "hundred Civil War soldiers in a box..." which turned out to be plastic flats. I was woefully disappointed and forever cured of the desire to send money for anything through the mail. I had a similar experience ordering an advertised WW2 set and the pictures not matching the plastic flat items delivered. I still managed to mix them into my fantasy battles of various sets of dinosaurs, cowboys&indians, Micronauts, army men, and farm animals though. |

What I'd like to know is if anyone here sent off for one of those "darling pet monkey's" and actually got a monkey through the mail?  |
