Could Use Some Info Assistance Please

OK, I've tapped the closer sources that I can for this, but with no real success, so I'm going to see if I have any better luck just casting out to the web...

If You Have Access To A Good Library/Library System
I used to work a state university, and I had regular access to the whole library system. Not so much any more. But what I'm looking for are the 1946 and/or 1947 editions of N.W. Ayer & Son's Directory of Newspapers and Periodicals. I'm working on a post explaining what they are in more detail, but I just need a few lines of data from either/each of those years. I'm working on a new book and would like to include some of the info I could get from those directories. If you happen to work or attend a school that has access to these, and would be willing to look them up, I'd be very appreciative. I might even be willing to send you a copy of my book once it's published! (It's about some 1940s comics that haven't gotten much attention in case you're interested.)

If You Happen To Live In Or Frequent Key West
Towards the end of October, I'll be heading down to Key West, Florida to attend a wedding. The S.O. and I will be extending our trip a bit to make it an actual vacation, and I'm wondering if there are any comic related sites I should hit. I threw this question out to the blog once before, and Jonathan Baylis chimed in saying he didn't know of much. (Thanks, Jon!) I'm pretty skeptical of finding anything at this point, but I'm still optimistic enough to ask again.
