I tried to contact him a few months ago, and he replied letting me know
that he is out of business. I think I used email: jalper@alperbooks.com to
contact him.

I believe he is out of business, sometime in the last two years.

Sarah,

I emailed Mr. Alper at the end of June and received a return telephone
call from him informing me he is no longer in business.

Hi, Sarah -

Regret to report that Jerry Alper closed up shop and is out of business as
of almost a year ago. At that time he had to decide whether or not to
renew the lease on his warehouse and so he decided that matters had
changed enough that it was no longer worthwhile to stay in business. I
understand why :  electronics has radically altered the nature of the back
issue periodicals business - while part of me bitterly decries one less
source to turn to.
As an older song put it "And another one bites the dust........."

Cheerio,
