My Grandmother had a subscription to the mag going back to the mid 1960s, I read all of them, and it enriched my childhood. The online experience has always sucked, but in different ways over the years.

20 Yrs ago my brother bought 2 years worth of magazines from the kabadi bazar* in India it was a treasure trove. I was thinking of subscribing a few days back but based on what people are saying here I am wondering if I should buy old stuff from ebay instead.

* You sell old newspaper and magazines by the kilo in India for recycling, sometimes they make their way to a huge market where people are selling old stuff in a huge market called Kabadi bazar think of it like a pawn shops fair every Sunday.

Great idea to find old ones. They were often very interesting and much less political.
I subscribed to the iPad version for a while, it was beautiful imho, though this was a few years ago.
