I never, NEVER through away back issues of Gaming Magazines, since I go back and read them quite frequently. Also, lately I've begun bidding on back issues of PC Gamer, Nintendo Power, and EGM on eBay (though I'd never pay more than $4 for an issue).
Anyways, these factors have brought me to have a fairly large magazine collection. I need a way to store them. Here are some ideas I've already tried:
Boxes! Didn't work because the magazines aren't sturdy, and if I stack them horizontally (spines facing up), they'll all fall over when I remove one to read, and if I stack them vertically (covers facing up), I can't get to the ones on the bottom.
Piles! Made a neat pile once, with all of the magazines in chronological order, but it quickly fell over when I tried to get magazines near the bottom.
Right now I have them all on a shelf, in piles. This causes them to get a bit beat up, and I've run out of room on my shelf. So I'm looking for more ideas.
I'd like something not very expensive (for instance I don't want a retail magazine rack in my house), but any sort of semi-cheap, maybe wireframe? shelving system would help. I'd like to keep them in order, i.e. some sort of set up where I don't have to move magazines to get to other magazines like I do now, but more than anything I just want to get them all off of the floor.
Thanks!
