SPECIAL OFFER! A to B magazine digital back-number set
A to B has been published since 1997 and now runs to over 120 issues. Not all have been digitised, but we’re gradually working backwards, and we now have a digital archive of over 50 issues. In theory we can send these over the internet, but our server isn’t up to packages of over 200Mb, so we’re supplying them on a memory stick. Not a very exciting inducement, but you get to keep it! The price – including postage worldwide – is a modest £25.00 worldwide, or just 50p per issue, a 50% discount on the normal digital price.
Very early magazines…
Most of the contents of A to B issues 31-49 are now available FREE here.
PAPER BACK NUMBERS
The Folder magazine was published from August 1993 to July 1997.
A to B magazine was published from August 1997.
