Caryl Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 It is certainly a great magazine. I have 6 years worth of them in my bookshelf. Haven't bought any for about 12 months though - our magazine bill was getting a little over the top and something had to go *sob* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a vast collection of fish magazines which I just moved inside, out of the garage. Probably about 10 years each worth of PFK, FAMA, AFM, A&P as well as various issues of other more obscure ones, including some from the 50s and 60s. Then there are the many years of TFH magazines, right back to when they were the half sized ones... I've stopped getting them all now too. :-( They make good reading though. A lot of the techniques have changed and there have been many modifications to fish names too but a lot of the basics still apply and the history is interesting. Andrew, off topic again.

reef Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Lucky i found this thread. 4 or so years after My tank being in the PKF magazine tanks of the world i get a call from out the blue as they want to do a update soon on my tank. Should be good to see how much it has changed over the years and all the others they did at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Just checked my PFK's that I got on TradeMe and the Oct 2002 is missing. Got the ones either side, but the MAIN one isn't there. It would have been very interesting to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
