Are there, or have there ever been, binders for the FT for sale?

If not, why not guys 'n' gals?
 
At first I thought this was a thread to try and rally support for some threat to FT's existence.

:eek!!!!:

Fortunately not!

I just keep mine in those magazine holder things that you can buy cheap in Tesco/Smiths etc.
 
In a small and strange way it is ... I was thinking how good they'd look in hard binders like I got with The Unexplained.

But sorry for scaring you!
 
I keep mine in the freezer, hoping that one day in the future they'll be able to unfreeze them without causing damage.

:)
 
I had mine in "safe keeping" with a renowed specialist Journal storage company but I find that they are now destroyed in a burnt out warehouse on an industrial estate in leyton next door to a car repair shop.
 
I'm sure they used to do binders... but that may just be my fevered imagination :)

I keep mine in cheap cheap magazine holders, or more often on the floor.

Mine will be reincarnated when the time comes . . .:eek:

Once a year, I gather that year's copies together, send them by personal courier to the Wang Shan Po Monastery, in the High Himalayas, and have them bound in human skin and tooled in gold.

...Me too! I was about to rant about personing the baricades ete etc...

Mine are kept in a nice cardboard box...
:)
 
Pretty sure they did binders in the past, would be a good idea for Fort to bring them back. Mine are crammed on the bottom shelf of a book case, with errant issues lurking around the house in unusual locations. I tidy them up but the resident Gremlins must like to read them as I'm forever coming across them under the bed or by the bath etc. Its Gremlins or the wife dunno which. Androman you got the address of that place in the High Himalayas? Maybe they have a web site? http://www.magsboundinhumanskin.com
 
Think they did slipcases at one stage. FT's been lots of different shapes through its incarnations so you would need a selection of different binders.

only once a year?

I do that quarterly!
 
Mine go to the great recycling bin in the sky! Terrible I know, but I have enough clutter already...
 
A recent visitor made a Fortean bee-line for the low spine with
"Two Headed Boy" and "Rasputin's Penis" emblazoned on it.

I feel a hard binder coming on. :p
 
I keep mine in cardboard magazine holders I stole from an office a while ago. I'm sure I've seen ads for ones of the same design, but in a dark colour (dark green?) with the FT logo on them, maybe in gold, in some of my older FT's.
 
I think the problem with themed issues is that its an all or nothing thing. If the theme is of interest no doubt you will enjoy it but if it isn't then you are writing off nearly a whole issue.
 
Yeah, that's how I felt with quite a lot of the Drugs issue, although there was some stuff I found quite interesting on the whole it wasn't up my alley.
