What is a "back issue"?
A back issue refers to a previous edition of a publication, such as a newspaper, magazine, or journal, that has already been published and is no longer part of the current issue. Back issues can often be purchased or accessed through archives or libraries, allowing readers to review past articles, stories, or advertisements. They provide a record of the publication's history and may be valuable for research or reference purposes.
Examples
The library has a vast collection of back issues of popular magazines for patrons to borrow.
