1) do the digital versions include all the pages of ads? As I recall, those 
can sometimes be
even more interesting than the articles...!

2) There are probablyMILLIONS of old "Geographics" out there...seems like 
everyone
who subscribed kept EVERY copy, and eventually gave them to the local thrift 
store
(or the folks settling the estate did...?!). Now ALL of those are 
effectively useless
(see #1 above, though!) in one fell swoop!
