These are magazines. Jay Delong (bless him) gave me a book he
came across at a used book store called _Aquarium Highlights_
which contained articles from that publication. Since then, I've
found several copies available on the internet for just a few dollars
(go to www.bibliophile.com). The most interesting thing to me
about this older literature is the advertisements. I got hooked on
_The Aquarium_ when I was a college student. The library had
several bound volumes of back issues (mostly from the 50's), which
I greatly enjoyed reading.
My wife always keeps an eye out for old books for me. She
brought home a copy of _Mutiny on the Bounty_ the other day,
which she paid about $0.25 for at a garage sale. Turned out to be
a first edition!
Prost,
Martin
