We can send per-issue files by WeTransfer, this is time-consuming for us, so that's £3 per file.
For earlier issues, we did also have e-magazines but we're now having problems with that format. So we added PDFs for earlier issues as well.
Additionally, for the current issue only, copies of the print pages are shown on ​"This issue online" webpage.
ALL ISSUES can now be downloaded as PDFs.​    ALSO as E-MAGAZINES for EARLIER FTs, up to and including JANUARY 2018, FT 56

Below - 2023 Nov - FT 74 onwards, other than on "THIS ISSUE online"

FTJ was part of Folklife West (FW) magazine. 
From Nov. 2023, it became a separate publication  -- it was becoming too big to edit & produce FW & FTJ together.


Folklife continues to offer a free download copy of the paid-for print magazine for each issue!  scroll down to read, free!

UPDATES to FTJ are included in "UPDATES" webpage (folklife.uk website),  and then sent out to our free "UPDATES EMAILS" list.
