Why not Problem is I don't know much about jazz... but i'm eager to discover. My father was a old school blues/jazz fanatic, and I just inherited a huge collection (3000-5000) of vinyl records, which I plan to at least listen in his memory.

Hope this advertisement didn't break the forum rules, which I tried to read

That's a great collection to have—especially for someone who reads French. I have a few copies that Panassié sent me over the years, and I value them highly.

Used to read the Bulletin du Hot Club de France back in the '50s. Don't have much interest for back issues nowadays.

And also storage space at home has run out (too many records and books)

Panassié was like a jazz-guru for my father, who was sharing the same vision of what "true" jazz is as the french critic. I don't know much about jazz, but i sometimes feel that panassié's vision of jazz was kinda too much restrictive.

As for this bulletin collection, I really don't know what it's worth... I've seen someone one priceminister selling just one complete year for 175 € (here and here)€... but this seems a crazy price... I just hope i'll make somebody happy with his collection.

Too bad I'm in the States; I'd be interested but the shipping would be very expensive!

Sounds like your father was a neat guy.

As i see on the internet site of Belgian postal service, the shipping of a 10 kg pack would cost 52 euros... I'm not really used with eBay, so I couldn't precise the shipping costs per country, and had to put a very high price for international shipment.
