Yep, I was excited when I saw that post(I made a comment on it, but it's gone now? interesting). I am just waiting a bit so that all the bugs can get fixed, but I am definitely looking forward to reading the early ones.

Have you liked what you have seen so far, Charlie?

The bugs are out now and I love it. Like many others here I was a big fan of Outdoor Life growing up and the recent issues of the 1950's and 1960's are blasts from my past. The 1890 and early 1900's are downright fascinating. First one I read had a story about what good exercise a Canadian hunt and fish trip is.(they knew something) Complete with original photos of characters, trains and canoes of the time period. Ads for the first combustion engine, auto loader etc. Never thought I'd be able to peruse all those original magazines. It's a real delight.

Thank you for bringing Archives to my attention. I subscribed, and have enjoyed them so much. Outdoor Life is the first magazine I remember. I am 75, so going back through decades of publishing has been a trip down memory lane. Even the ads are great. Kindest Regards

I commented on the Off Topic message board on these back issue offering. Like each of you I am very much enjoying the material and Imust repeat that anyone who is not checking on this is really missing out on something great. Have a look and you will be hooked within a few pages. It looks to be good business for OL particularly as the world of the printed page is on a downturn. Good for them and good for the readers, it should be a success!
