Bound volumes of history

My friend Mark has just received back his 5th bound year of H&S magazines. Health & Strength is the oldest physical culture journal in the world, established in 1898 and produced in the UK.

He is unsure how far back or forward he wants to take his collecting of these rare older issues. Like all collecting, the very early issues are extremely rare and very valuable.

I was able to contribute a couple of issues to his collection. Back in the late 60s through to the 1980s I contributed a few articles and photos to the magazine. Like most magazines it came to an end a some years ago when most magazines died.
