Individuals selecting the analog annual option receive their publications on glorious paper, with the term of membership being one year. You will be invited to renew before your expiration date comes around. Student Members will be asked annually to demonstrate their status. Please send a copy of student ID or class schedule along with membership. Family Memberships deliver a single set of publications per household, while discounts and voting privileges extend to spouses, partners or companions. It's one big world, so why do we even have International Memberships? It's all about those postal rates for getting our good stuff into your hands. Had you taken the Digital path, there would have been no such discrimination. Just saying.
