As a kid in the early 1970s....I had an uncle who would come by once a year and dump all his copies of the year at the house. I’d spend an entire month reading carefully through each article and it was probably one of the five big enrichments of my youth.

I should add, among the ‘dump’ would be Argosy Magazine (no longer published but a fine geographical piece), and at least two or three other publications which have also disappeared.

When I was a kid, I went through the magazine, looking for pictures of uncovered boobs.

Leafing through old NGs is a pivotal part of any youngsters’ development.

It opens up new worlds to young minds.

I noted that the articles were much more literate and fact-based in the old days.

Every home with kids should possess a large pile of old NG magazines.

Just the pictures of those African tribes though. :-)
