Periodicals 8. A Broken Run of American Scooterist: Vespa Club of America Member Magazine. Cleburne, Texas (and later Oklahoma City, Oklahoma): Vespa Club of America, 1992-2013. Staple-bound periodicals, glossy color covers with a mix of color and black and white contents. Very good to near fine. Light sun fading along the edges of issue one and light rubbing on the covers of the 1993 and ’94 issues. Still in publication, the quarterly American Scooterist started life as Vespa Club of America Member Magazine in 1992 and changed names a few years later. Typical of club publications, they feature club events and member profiles, as well as scooter reviews, touring stories, scooter history, and coverage of Amerivespa, the club’s annual rally. This collection includes 41 issues, including the scarce premier issue: Vol. 1 Nos. 1 and 2 (1992) and 3 (1993); Vol. 2 Nos. 1 and 2 (1993) and 3 (1994); Summer, Autumn and Winter 1998; Spring, Summer and Autumn/Winter 1999; Winter 2000; all four issues from 2001; all four issues from 2002; all four issues from 2003; Spring 2004 (they then started a numbering system) and numbers 45 (2004) through 61 (2013) (numbers 48/49 and 54/55 are single volumes). $250.00 9. A Full Run [Almost] of Scoot! Quarterly/Scoot! Magazine. San Francisco (and later San Jose and Santa Clara): Scoot Quarterly/Scoot Magazine, 1998-2011. Staplebound periodicals, glossy color covers with a mix of color and black and white contents. Very good with light wear to the wraps and one issue with mailing label on the front cover. Scoot! Lasted for an impressive sixty issues and was America’s premier motorscooter publication with a mix of vintage and modern scooters, touring and club news, reviews, music, and fashion; they had more of a club/hotrod feel in the beginning, and then developed a more polished look. Two issues were released in 1997 and then four per year were published until five in 2007 through 2009, six issues in 2010, and their final issue in February of 2011. The name was changed from Quarterly to Magazine with the Summer 2004 issue. This collection includes 58 issues, lacking the very scarce first and second issues that were printed in such limited numbers that much of the material was reprinted in later issues. Also included are the 2007 and 2009 Scooter Buyer’s Guides and 28 pieces of ephemera (postcards, trading cards, decals, buttons, etc.) that were occasionally included with the magazine. $500.00
