I used to subscribe to Fine Gardening also but let it run out but have been thinking of renewing it again when the others expire. I can buy special issues of FG at the news stand in grocery stores or drug stores. I took about 5 yrs. of issues into one of our Garden Club meetings with FREE sign on them and one man asked me if he could have them all. I shared FG with another gardening friend.. I love the slip cases you can order for your issues of FG and also the 3 ring notebooks for GG magazine.
Guess it stems from not having many magazines or books in the house when I grew up. Our Uncle worked as a printer at Curtis Publishing Co. in Philadelphia and some years we would get a subscription to LHJ from him and Aunt B..when it ran out, they didn't renew it nor did Mama..I think when my brother was in BSA, they sent him a year's subscription to Boy's Life..Sometimes we had Reader's Digest..have no idea where that came from. Dear Aunt and Uncle are no longer living and Curtis Publishing Co. went out of business years ago.
