This magazine has been read but is in fantastic shape.
If you were to purchase a back issue through the National Geographic Society, it would cost $7.00 with U.S. delivery.
I have a number of back issues of National Geographic from various years. If you are looking for a specific issue, please let me know. I supply shipping discounts to multiple purchases.
Due to changes in USPS policy and a recent postage rate increase, I have had to raise my shipping costs.
