I've been a continuous subscriber to the US mag since the early 70s and still have all the hard copies since 1990. In a weak moment I gave away all the earlier ones. Every month they have a section near the front when they give the title of a highlight story in the magazine from 25 years ago with a thumbnail of the cover. I must have devoured those copies so thoroughly that I still vividly remember the covers of those early editions. I still remember marvelling at the new photos each month as the Voyager spacecraft were moving past the outer planets.
The digital copies won't be the same as actually thumbing through the real thing but I'll probably weaken and buy them anyway.
