Note: This issue never appeared at the Vancouver B&N (also tried Powell’s in Beaverton and was shocked to find they no longer carry magazines), so I had to find it in the secondary market, after it had left the newsstands that stocked it. Good to see my classified ad for The Digest Enthusiast starting up again in this edition.
