Article Reprints / Offprints (NGS and permissioned)

This group is intended to share knowledge of / awareness of, some seldom seen "reprint", or "offprint", articles that originally appeared in the published magazine. The vast majority of these items were generated by the Society on special request by non-profit organizations, government agencies, and other higher profile entities (authors, significant contributors). Print runs of each varied widely, from a few dozen to thousands of copies. Some bear the personalization of the author.See More

Dear Mr. Choquette,

  Welcome to Collectors Corner! Did you by chance buy old NGMs from us during a special sale in 1997? I seem to recall your name.

Best wishes,

Cathy Hunter
