"Just checked mine. No 'supplement' line. I bought this from the US, so it seems the NGS had an additional print run of this supplement, without the added line. "

Dale replied to Stephen Marino's discussion Personal National Geographic Magazine Collection
"I would encourage you to keep them. My collection occupies ~6.3cm of bookshelf width per half-year of the magazine (post 1910 and with slip cases). That means your collection from 1914 to present day (112 years) would occupy 14.1 meters of shelf…"

I want to access the NGM CD set

Does anyone know how to access/read the NGM CD set? Is there an update I am not aware of? I cannot now use the app on my Windows 10 PC. Below is my question to Chat-GPT on how I might do this, but its response is a more complicated than I am now comfortable with (old retired engineer). Yes, I know I can buy scanned versions of the magazines on ebay, but they are quite expensive and do not offer the really valuable database/search flexibiity of the CD app. Would very much appreciate any guidance…See More

"Thanks Scott, I needed these for my magazines of recent and upcoming years and ordered all 28 of the Class 1 slipcases they had available. Shipping to Australia wasn't too bad as they are very lightweight. Dale"

Hi Dale,

You have mentioned some good friends.  I have not talked with Howard and his wife Jane for years.  I purchased some unique items from them.  I basically stopped collecting in the early 2000's as it became harder and harder to fine the items I wanted; also my collection is so large it developed a life of its own.  There is not much that I don't have.  I would like to talk with you about collecting.  My email is pjepdds@aol.com

Any suggestions what should I do with them other then throw them out ! Thanks Just feels wrong !

At 6:38am on November 1, 2017, Dale said…

Three options:

1. I know a collector in Melbourne who is looking for many of the magazines you have and might be prepared to cover costs for posting them to Melbourne, or pick them up. You'd have to send me your email address so I can forward it to them so you can both discuss.

2. Give them to the Salvos (or any Opportunity Shop). They usually sell them. Old magazines make great dentist/doctor waiting-room reading.

3. Give them to a primary school who may use them for their pictures for projects, etc.

4. Put an free ad in one of those online sales sites (Gumtree?) to sell individual magazines as gifts for individual birthdays (birth month).

I would be interested in getting the December 1960 issue. Although I already have copies of this, I want one to keep with some Apollo 11 memorabilia I have.

Please don't throw them out.....
