---All week long I have had the pleasure (but my wife’s displeasure) to have these SF magazine collections lying around the house, defying me to get them catalogued. I wish I had a digital camera to snap a few pictures--maybe post them on the .mac webpage I might be able to get started one of these days. Info about contents of specific issues can be found at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database. Here is the cataloguing I came up with:
