Would anyone like my issues of the Economist? Also have some Scientific American issues in digital.

As this is a popular source of reading material for working RC practice into leisure reading, I thought someone here might want my issues. I usually just recycle them, but I'm sure someone here can put them to good use. I have two to get rid of now... three by weeks end.

I can mail you a couple issues every couple weeks (within the US) free of charge as long as my subscription continues, on the condition that you:

  1. want to use them for your studies.
  2. send them to another 7sager when you are done with them.
  3. let me know when you no longer need them so I can give them to someone else.
  4. acknowledge that I might stop without notice at any time because... life.

Please post below, or I can update with who ends up getting them. Maybe we can just designate a chain of custody in here or something... anyway first person to agree in here hit me up with your address.

Also have some Scientific American issues in pdf that I'll send to anyone who wants them. Read them all so I'll be deleting the files. Maybe a year's worth... a couple years old (2017). For these as well, it'd be great if you pass them on to at least one other 7sager who could benefit from having them. I'll send them out to a few people before getting rid of them.

Edit: so a lot of them are too big to email. I'm hosting them on drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AIQxQ0aFEXJusBA0hejBMtXEcv5qzRLu?usp=sharing

As long as this links up it'll be active. Will probably take it down in a day or so.

If anyone has any copies of Science or Nature, I'd love to trade, but completely unnecessary.

Edit 10/31 STILL AVAILABLE.

Edit 11/8 Bump... SciAm link is still up, but no one who expressed interest ended up sending me an address to forward the Economist copies. These are going into the recycle bin soon... last chance for free issues.

    That is a very generous offer that I hope someone takes you up on. I got a digital subscription to The Economist four months ago and I have seen a two point increase on RC.
    I would be interested in the Scientific American pdfs. I've sent my email address to your inbox.
    Are there any especially interesting articles that you'd recommend that I read?

    Just updated with a drive folder. A lot of them were too big to send via email. I tend to just browse for anything that interests me, or anything about the length of an RC passage even if it doesn't interest me. I try to keep it more enjoyable, with a hint of RC practice.

    Thanks for posting this! I was just looking for exactly this.

    If it's still available, I'd love to have the Economist and/or Scientific American for my RC reading practice.

    I just hosted the SA files in drive. There's a link in the main post now. Download whichever issues you want as I'll be deleting them in a day or two. Waiting to hear back from someone via PM about the Economist copies.

    @"Andrew Alterio" Followed up with the other inquiry and the mags are yours if you want them. PM me an address.

    @Auntie2020 I've posted a link for the SA issues. Download whatever you need! Will update if I find more Economist issues.

    Thank you so much! I have the Economist but I have been trying to find a way of reading more Scientific American. This is perfect! Thanks again.

    where can I find the link? I really would love the opportunity to read the Economist being that the subscription is way beyond my budget!
