I have the habit of never throwing any books or even magazines if I can help it.I have some really old Woman and Home , Illustrated weekly of India and Film India , all passed down to me by my great Aunt who was an avid reader.
The pages are brittle, and I got them all bound together.my children love to go through them ...I cut out interesting pages from magazines and get them bound together before disposing old magazines since it takes up a lot of space, as it is my house is overflowing with books and bound copies ... :cheer:
Also, I never give away any of the novels or books that I buy.However, I see that when people borrow books from you they conveniently forget to return the same or when you ask them, they have forgotten where they have put it...
Books are like legacies that you can pass down to your children ..

collecting books and magazine is a hobby for many people.i also like collecting books and magazine.collecting of books helps us to gain knowledge.specially old books are the antique for me.i collect magazine mainly for the small short stories for collecting pictures.

Yes, I too have a habit of collecting old magazines, although I have not collected old books much. I have a small collection of very old magazines, The Indian Housewife, you must know this for sure, published in 70s.

I also have a collection of Saturday Evening Post, issues from decades 1960-70, collected for illustrations by Norman Rockwell and others
