She sold hardcopies and PDFs of the back issues on a website. PDFs cost $2.00. I bought several, but always toyed with the idea of offering her a lump sum, say $1,100, for all back issues of the APAzine. (At the time I thought of doing this, there were slightly 550 back issues.) I didn't end up doing it because I couldn't really afford to do that. But I never expected they'd become unavailable for purchase at any price. Every time I'm reminded of A&E, I'm newly sad that you can't get them any more. Lee was worried about making errors due to her failing eyesight, and refused to accept money for back issues.It came up in another thread, but I don't want to derail that one with my melancholy and infinite sadness.</blockquote>
