As a kid in the early 1970s....I had an uncle who would come by once a year and dump all his copies of the year at the house. I’d spend an entire month reading carefully through each article and it was probably one of the five big enrichments of my youth.

I should add, among the ‘dump’ would be Argosy Magazine (no longer published but a fine geographical piece), and at least two or three other publications which have also disappeared.

Last year my family subscribed to NG for one year for a special rate of $ 12. We charged it to a credit card. Last month the credit card showed a NG renewal at $ 19. We did not intend to renew but somewhere in all the papers we had agreed to perpetual renewals. On my phone call they agreed to unsubscribe us.
