A lot of you know a little about me. How many of you read the original Mother Earth News Magazine in the very early 70's? I was one of those, and was quickly hooked. I have a ton of their magazines archived. I was a Mother's Earth Lifer. #4500. The Magazine has changed hands a couple of times over the years, but I am still a fan. The whole purpose of this post is a lead in into this.... I just got my February/March issue and in it is a Sale offer for "the complete Mother Earth News archive on DVD" spring 1970 thru winter 2009, Forty years for $40.

I just wanted to share with the rest of you. web address www.motherearthnews.com/shopping. promo code for sale price MMEPAA23
That is a great deal. I still have their first couple of newsprint issues. I subscribed for about 5 years. Came close to becoming a lifer. You are right about there being a ton of useful stuff in there. On a similar note (and I.m sure it's been mentioned on this site before) I bought a DVD (about 4.5 Gigs worth) of US military manuals covering survival, Hand -to-Hand, transportation, construction, medical etc. Only $49.95 as I recall. From SpecterGroup.com. Whole lot of reading for the money. Sure you could probably find it all for free on the web somewhere, but it was worth the $49.95 just to get all the downloads in one place.
I see that you can get years 1970 - 2008 on 4 CD's for $29.95. Good deal also, but the convenience of having everything on one DVD and searchable is pretty big.
