I am looking for any of the SFBC monthly Catalogs... I have a pretty complete collection, but I'd like to fill in the gaps, if possible. Please contract me if you know of any place where I can obtain either back issues or even photocopies, to complete my collection.

A near complete collection of SFBC catalogs? What's the interest there? Why are you collecting those, if you don't mind me asking.

well, at first it was just a desire to keep back issues if I couldnt buy all the books I wanted in a particular month... keep the old catalog and next month, go back and get the books you couldnt afford... after a while, I realized I had a pretty good run, and then it became something to collect... and now, like anything elsecollectible, a complete series is worth more than a fragmented one

I don't think I still have my catalogs, but I held on to them for a quite a while. It was interesting to see publishing/marketing trends. Also how some of the "main selections" may have intially put me off, but then I would later get them and enjoy them.

please make an effort to look... aside from my personal interest as a collector, they are of some real historic value... as you say, they reflect the trends in SCI -FI over time
