My father was a big fan of the magazine. He has several years of back issues. I would love to sell them, but I’d hate to have to recycle them if I can’t find a home for them.
is there a home for these wayward magazines?
some of the FW binders are in ok shape, some of them are so old they are falling apart.

I'm sorry I'm no help in your endeavor, I just had to post because I laughed so hard upon opening this thread. You see, I saw back issues as having to do with back pain.... Not old issues if the magazine!
I wish I had a place to store this collection (on shelves, I mean). I remember digging through my grandparents old copies of National Geographic and my grandfather's old woodworking magazines when I was a kid. But, I just don't have the space to even offer.
Good luck finding a place to save them though!
Haaa... the back issues will manifest when it is time to move them!
These pop up from time to time. An idea of the extent of the collection and where it is located would probably get you further.
Bradenton Florida
Looks like from the 50’s to the 160’s
83 issues by my count
I thought it was a cervical type issue as well.
I would post to ebay or your local craigslist. I have bought a lot of FWW back issues this way. I was looking to get the complete run - managed to get the bulk of them but haven't put much effort into filling in the gaps after my initial attempt. They usually average about $3-4 per issue - the earlier black and white issues may be a little more - you'll see when you look on ebay.
Silly me, 1st thing I thought was previous issues. Then again, I believe only newspapers and magazines have issues. Human beings have problems, concerns or situations.

When I subscribed for online service I called 1 of the local HS that have wood shop (hard to find anymore) and they gladly accepted the mags.
Can also call your local Woodcraft or Rockler. I've seen them there in boxes from time to time for free to a good home. I've also seen little adds on their corkboards selling the whole collections.
back issues still available?
