- About Me:
- Now retired (sociology professor), have more time for National geographic magazine collection (my second) and related history, studies, map supplements and varieties. Also collect Geo magazine, and different types of books. Magazine collection is complete back to 1920, and hope to complete back to 1910 and also complete map (and other inserts) collection. Have rather large accumulation of duplicates for trade or sale.
So far, have only been active buying. - Favorite National Geographic publication:
- The magazine...Particularly articles that return to a location or a subject years later.
- Favorite travel destination:
- The Mediterranean, when and where there aren't too many tourists around!?

Many thanks for your patience. I wish I had better news for you. Although you can contact Sandy Ahner (sahner@ngs.org) for samples of back issues, Consumer Marketing is not willing to mail different cover issues to you as they are published.
Just so you are aware, like many other places of business we are undergoing quite a bit of uncertainty. Many of us who have been at the Society for years are well aware of the collector community (and are thrilled that you follow the Society so avidly), and will try to be of help, but our time to do so may be even more curtailed as staff numbers continue to decline. I do hope you understand.
Kindest regards,
Cathy

Concerning contacting Sandy, "if he does want to get some back-issue variants, please contact Sandy Ahner and she will try to get them for you."
You also asked about redirecting UK and Singapore subscriptions to you. Sandy might be able to answer that as well, but I don't know. I still have to follow up on that part of your last posting.
