Pedro's E-bag

The old ones are very fragile


Dear Pedro, I’ve been reading the early editions of Boys’ Life on the Wayback Machine and I love them. The only thing I miss is being able to hold one in my hand and read it in print. Do you know where I could find print copies of early Boys’ Life magazines?
—Sean F., Vienna, Va.

The only original copies that I know of, Sean, are the bound volumes in our office and at the National Scouting Museum, and the old ones are very fragile.
