Default plastic covers

How many members like myself appreciate the plastic sleeves that mags are put in?? I sure do..I love them because it helps preserve them..for years to come..I wish all the woodcarving magazines would do that..dont you??

The little shrink wrap baggy? LOL the second I get it into my hand I just tear it to little bits, all my books and mags are in a fire proof, dust proof, and temp controlled safe a.k.a a file cabinet.

I certainly appreciate it . I live in a rual delivery and I think the mailman takes notice to be more careful if it has the plastic sleeve in it..The one thing I hate when it gets to me is the mailman does fold everthing and I love my magazines and don't want them folded.. I wonder if any of you have that problem..When you pay for a nice magazine ,it makes me feel real bad to see it all bent up.. The plastic sleeve seems to make him take notice and I am glad for that.

Ha half the time they throw our mail on the ground, we had to complain about one driver so many times and not just us complained, they actually got fired. We live in the middle of nowhere and when they do plow the snow off our roads not very often, they almost always hit the mail box. My older brother made our last 4 or 5 mailboxes and they where all different metal sculptures, he made one really big one and we cemented it into the ground on a big peice of I beam, it was planty far from the endge of the road and the mail box swung in chains, well the road grader hit it during the winter and got put into the ditch from it lol.

This day and time , you just can't win for loosing! I have a jumbo mail box too and he STILL folds the mail.. My magazines will lay flat in my box .. He's just got something in his brain that says FOLD! Years ago we complained about the National Tole Society magazines.. It didn't do a bit of good and they were not put in sleeves than.. I sure am glad that the Woodcarving magazines are in sleeves.. I think that gets the folding attention out of him for a minute.. Charlotte
