  1. I prefer the print version as well, but I know that makes me a dinosaur. I too will probably not renew when my subscription is complete. I also have notebooks filled with the printed issues that are used for reference.

  2. I absolutely agree with all that has been said. I much prefer the print version.
    I have all the issues dating back to the very first one and used to recommend the WDJ to students, but just can’t any more.
    I will not be renewing my subscription and it really breaks my heart.

  3. I too am a 2-decade WDJ subscriber. I agree with Charlotte’s comment. I loved the print issues but digital works fine. I file them in a folder, no problem.

    Loved this article, from one of my favorite authors. Great ideas both commercial and DIY. I willing be trying some come spring! Thanks you.

  4. I too enjoyed the print issue. My copies went into a notebook for quick reference. But I understand that times are changing and we must do what we can to preserve natures trees, our natural resources and conserve energy. Now instead of putting these in a notebook I move them into a folder in my email storage. I can flip right to the issues I want.
    Please keep up the work you do . ♥️🐾♥️
