I know the price has always been low, but I don't think I can pass it up this year. We just got a letter from the National Geographic Society offering a year subscription to their magazine (12 issues), a world map, and a "100% guarantee of your satisfaction" for $12.00. Unless you live in Kentucky. There it'll cost you an extra 6% sales tax. I will pass on the obvious Kentucky joke. But I think we're getting the magazine. I cut up many an issue from my parents' stash for grade school reports, and I'd like a big heap of them for the boys to look through some day. (It'll cost you $15 on the National Geographic subscription site.)

When we were cleaning out my grandmother's house after her death, there was a HUGE trove of NG issues in her basement. It was one of those situations where you're looking at a thing thinking, "I must have it. But where will I store it?" Sadly, I don't know what finally became of them.
I have two or three from my parents' subscription. One is the special issue on water, and one is the one with the hologram cover, and one has the article about my mother's friend Natalie Goodall, and her work in Tierra del Fuego.
