FT 57-59: we experimented with "Yumpu" e-magazine publisher, after "Issuu" e-magazine wouldn't accept our uploads.
We found problems with Yumpu from time to time, so have replaced by pdf downloads as our default access for you.

2018 Jan - FT 56FT 56 and earlier issues are on "issuu.com". Just click on 2018 Jan - FT 56 etc to read. Issuu is an e-magazine format, which we used for years, till it suddenly wouldn't work when I tried to add to it. Still works for you reading FT 56 and earlier. Any problems just email me for a pdf. 9 A4 pages (mono)

IMPORTANT NOTE, 7 July 2018
Having spent years uploading FT issues as e-magazines on the "Issuu" website - we can no longer do this! ---- up to FT-56, Jan 2018, still on Issuu, still accessible for you to read, -- but we cannot change anything we have placed on Issuu.
Meanwhile, we are trying out "Yumpu" as an e-mag provider - seem to be readable (and is is a lot easier to upload than Issuu ever was).
