I started subscribing in 1979 and then, with the passing of my father, inherited the issues he'd collected since he'd subscribed in 1963.

I also have various individual issues dated back to 1929, including two "Hillary Climbs Everest" issues from, I think, 1956.

Needless to say, I have a very yellow bookcase along one wall in my study. And very, very heavy.

I'm like Captain James Tiberius Kirk in one modest respect though . . . . . I'd rather have the paper sliding along the fingers than read something like National Geographic on a CD.
