I used to collect National Geographic magazines when I was in high school and college. It was frequently possible to find very old copies at yard and rummage sales. I would try to collect entire years, and eventually whole decades. Thankfully, when my father sold the house, he must've recycled them back into the market. I have only about five issues which somehow made it to Vancouver. I hope inquiring young minds have since found some of hundreds of others and that these old magazines have fostered a fascination with history and a thirst for travel.
