I've got 'em all going back to mid-1995, when I first started my subscription. So far, I can't bear to give any of them away, but they're starting to take up a lot of space, too........  Hmmmm.........

Was hard to initially decide on what articles I would keep.
However, the articles with the scale three view drawings of aircraft and armor are my most valued of the pre-turn of the century issues.
Dunno why FSM stopped including those scale drawings.
They were a major reason I bought the magazine.

I've been there and done that before, that's why I'm overrun with issues all the way back to Paul Boyer wearing a sweater vest!

FSM subscribers always seem to have a lot of issues after a while........
I had a collection of FSM issues going back to the first issue.
I decided to keep only the individual articles I wanted at time of purchase..
Saved a lot of space.
I bet Hans von Hammer didn't even need to save his old issues.
He knows so many of the scratch building techniques, he could write articles for FSM.Toast

Heck, why not subscribe?  It's cheaper in the long run and you don't have to go to a bookstore to get them.

I'll second that, that's what I did.  Also means that you won't miss an issue, if the seller sells out of copies.

I found that some of our grocery stores here in PA carry FSM in their magazine selection, too.  Giant and Wegmans both do, for anyone else in PA looking to buy the magazine at the stand.

That's what I've found, too.  B&N will _usually_ have them, but my local hobby shops will almost always have them, usually the latest _two_ volumes, on the racks.

While some book and magazine stands carry FSM around here, certainly not all do.  However, I find all the hobby shops in the area do.

Not at all. It is possible that because the May and July issues have to carry over for two months, they're out of those issues. The next issue is September, and should be out the first week of August.

I am surprised Barnes and Noble doesn't have it in your area.

The Chicago area B&N bookstores carry FSM on their magazine racks.

..in any stores around the Memphis, TN area. Krogers, Barnes&Noble, and Books a Million haven't a copy to their name. Are you limiting your retail distributions?
