    I have always hoarded my old aircraft magazines, and even bought a few collections off other people . I have finally decided to sort them all out, get them out of the attic and put them in some sort of shape where i can easily look through and read them . I have my own library/office in the house so i now have somewhere decent to keep them . Im looking for suggestions as to whether or how i should store, bind them together . I have stuff going back over 50 years, so i know i wont get official binders etc for them . Also, given the times we are in, i am looking to not spend a lot of money doing it either . All reasonable suggestions welcome, unlike my wife, who would like to see me build a very big bonfire .

    Which is similar to what happened to my collection (from the early 80's onwards) :eek::(. These days I'm only allowed magazines in adobe pdf format!:pac:

    My wife can't wait for me to die. So she can get rid of everything.

    On the other hand, my revenge is two sons. They will keep up the family tradition.

    A mate of mine collects Flypast magazine, He has a lot of them in Flypast supplied binders which have a kind of vertical wire on the inside ? Keeps them neat and tidy and easy to read. But they are expensive at £7 + postage !

    Maybe if you could check out a good stationary shop they might have something similar ?

    I've piles of 'Airplane' magazines from the early '90s (ish) in the family home, no idea what to do with them. There were about 200 issues and I only missed a few, always thought about picking up the missing ones.

    My only comment on storage is that keeping them in a big stack (like mine are) compresses the lower ones a lot, which might damage the spines long-term.
