    I've all of my Face Mags, they've become more of an Ikea Expedit filler than anything else, but chics love em for some reason, checking out 80's stars first mention etc...

    Still can't be throwing my editions of Computer arts, Grafik, Wallpaper and Creative Review out even though they have all just sat there gathering dust for the past couple of years. Pinterest and my external HD holds most of my inspiration these days... sigh.

    ^ yeah. i've got a stack of Wallpaper and CR Annuals or quarterlies or whatever they are. threw away my old Face and other random mags. also kept some old Surfer and The Surfer's Path mags.

    a few years back i was obsessed with old National Geographic magazines. from the 70s... i had hundreds and buy them from thrift stores whenever i spotted them. amazing photography and articles. threw them away a while back.

    Sine,

    I've been getting National Geographic for a few years now. I would never toss those out; one of my grandfathers had at least a decades worth, and I loved having them to read growing up. Not sure what happened to them after they moved and eventually passed away. But hope to have a similar collection someday.

    • ... and then pass away.i_monk
    • yeah i know. i remember some of my favourite covers from the collection clearly. but it's fairly easy to find old copies at thrift stores.sine
