Speaking of National Geographic ....

When we bought the house in Florida back in 2001, the seller cleaned the
place out clean as a whistle, except for two big boxes buried in a
storage
area under some stairs. I pulled them out, opened them, and they
contained
every issue of National Geographic from 1964 to 1998. What a find! I
thought about contacting the seller, but decided that "you snooze, you
lose".

Got them all up here now.

I inherited my father in-law's collection - pretty much the same
period - a few years earlier than yours.

It's a lot of fun going through them from time-to-time.- Hide quoted

I have a bunch of old Nat Geo's too. Another cool thing we have is a
set of Encyclopedias from the 60's with the yearly updates and such...


Anyone have or remember the "Lincoln Library"? It was a cross between
an encyclopedia and a huge dictionary. Did most of my grade school
homework with it's assistance. Black leather covers and really, really
thin pages. It's unreal to think about this now-a-days. How did we
possibly get through school without "Google"?

Scientific American did a piece on the western US sinking in to the sea
because of all the saved NG's. Was a hilarious piece. I think was in the
1960's or so.
