It's also a great idea for newcomers to the craft like myself. It will be a great resource for seeing what back issues I might want to order. Right now the only ways are either to just pick some randomly or read about an old pattern in the request or brag forums. With this feature, I should be able to find projects I'd like to do and buy the appropriate back issues - assuming they are available.
I have subscribed to the magazine and I got my new issue today but I haven't read all the way through it. My first thing is always to go through and look at the projects to see what might tickle my fancy. Thanks for the heads up, Karl.
