What a wonderful resource. When I was in grad school, somebody would buy the latest Computer Shopper and it would be passed around as needed. You really didn't need a brand new copy, so the old ones were passed around too. Sometimes it just gave you an idea of what could be built, and what kind of planning was needed. And payment / shipment were nontrivial in those days.
