The Complete National Geographic: Every Issue Since 1888 Of National Geographic Magazine on Your Computer by John Hyde
Most excellent resource to have if you love National Geographic Magazines but have no room for them and can't find articles when you need them. Hands-down needed in any educated household - that is until 2007-2008 when it was made. That's the only drawback - you have buy the next edition to keep current.
