Although we have printed copies of most back issues going back to 2002 (which can be perused and ordered online using the “Back Issues” tab on our website), we have now made available digital back issues going back to early 1997. Individual digital issues are not available for purchase; they are available only in yearly and multi-year packages. Order them online at: www.members.mountainastrologer.com/dbi Viewing any of these digital back issues requires registering on our TMA Digital site, so after purchasing a package online, you will be taken directly to a registration screen, where you can set up a user name and password (if you are not already registered for TMA Digital) and then get quick access to those issues. If you are already registered and using TMA’s Digital Edition, your digital back issues will simply be added to the very end of your library of TMA issues, so as to keep all your issues in reverse chronological order.
