F&SF: 1949 – Present

Originally uploaded by slushgod.

I don’t remember if I blogged about this previously or not, but last year I bought a complete run of F&SF from a long-time fan, who no longer had the room to store his collection. It took me a while to get around to it, but I finally got them all unpacked. Behold. That’s all of them.

Well, except for the November 1983 issue. That appears to be the only one I’m missing. Anyone have one they wouldn’t mind parting with?

Also pictured here are my new 5-shelf bookcases, on top of which you can see I’ve stacked smaller 2-shelf bookcases. The 5-shelfers are all screwed together for stability, as are the 2-shelfers, but I need to attach the 2-shelfers to the 5-shelfers with shims or something (as suggested in the comments to a previous post).

In addition to F&SF issues, you’ll also see some other stuff on the shelves. For instance, there’s a complete run of F&SF‘s sister publiation, Venture, which didn’t last very long (it had two brief runs in the 50s and 60s), and a few F&SF anthologies. Below that are some misc. short fiction magazines and graphic novels.
