Purchase of Back Issues
(Posted February 28, 2020:
Printed back issues of The Portolan - Available now, but not much longer
Do you enjoy holding a print copy of The Portolan? Do you have a full back set, or are you missing some issues? Have you been an author, and would like to have some additional copies? Are there some issues with articles you wish you had read?
NOW is the time to act to get those back print copies. As part of a downsizing of inventory in the coming months, notice is given that back copies are now available, but that will change in the coming months. The Society just cannot indefinitely maintain the ability to provide back print copies of The Portolan. The Society has a varying number of copies of individual back issues. All issues are currently available. Once the print copies are sold, that issue will no longer be available in print form, as there is no expectation to do reprints of back issues after they are sold out.
How to find more information of what is available? Click HERE to search a full listing of back tables of content, PLUS the ability to examine the index to those issues. Determine your desires. Then see below for pricing and ordering instructions. Be sure to note that for 2 or more copies of the journal (they need not be the same issue), a discount can be computed due to postal cost savings.
Do act NOW, so as not to be disappointed.
Single copies are priced as follows, and include postage. Since May 14, 2007, the only mailing option offered by the US Postal Service for the mailing of single or small quantity loose issues outside the USA is via "First Class Mail International" which is transmitted by air-speed.
