Hi All,
I'm thoroughly biased and disclose a vested interest up front, but I will certainly be buying them. I grew up on S&T, am honoured that they let me write for them and still love the magazine.
My astronomical society has virtually a whole set in paper form. They are for me a wonderful reference material and what Walter Scott Houston wrote sometimes 2, 3 or 4 decades ago will often serve to inspire an idea for an article today. I still cannot believe they allowed me to follow in Scotty's footsteps by writing over a dozen Deep sky articles for S&T and in excess of 30 for AS&T.
That's not to denegrate, exclude or pooh-pooh other publications -- many of which are excellent and of a high standard that I often read too, but in my eyes S&T (along with its off-shoot AS&T) is the original and best of all.
Bargain I reckon!
And BTW Steffen, you have been able to buy individual articles for years off the site, though not whole magazines.
Best,
Les D
