A reason to subscribe to Nova et vetera (English edition)

Since its initial publication in 2003 I've been a fan of Nova et vetera (English edition), published out of Ave Maria University, in Florida. The journal is certainly one "go-to" place for scholarship on Thomistic theology and ethics, along with other topics of general interest to Thomists. Over the years Matthew Levering or Michael Dauphinais have sent me an issue or two, and I've got about eight issues on my bookshelf—of course I had Marquette get an institutional subscription to the thing from the outset.

Recently I decided that I wanted to complete my collection of the journal. But when it turned out that plugging the gaps of my printed collection with the other printed issues would be too costly, I remembered that a subscription to the journal allowed one to get additional access to PDF versions of articles for a mere $5.00 more per year. So I subscribed to the journal as an individual for $30.00 per year, paid the extra $5.00, and now have access to all the articles of the journal's run since 2003, which I've downloaded, and pumped into my bibliography program (EndNote). Check this one off as "done."
