Blackdex/Bluedex [with] The Index to the S-F Magazines 1966

Cambridge: M. I. T. Science Fiction Society, 1965. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Unpaginated. Original loose leaves in a bracketed binder. No. 250 of 500 copies. Very scarce volume indexing a subset of the English-language Science Fiction magazines for the period 1951-1964. Erwin Strauss compiled this work under the auspices of the MIT Science Fiction Society. Based upon the favorable response to this admittedly limited work, which sold out in about a year, he expanded it into a complete index for the period 1951 to 1965. Contents: Blackdex - Works Alphabetized by Title /Bluedex - Works Alphabetized by Author. The title listing is printed in black ink and the author listing in blue ink. The sections are printed inverted and interleaved. Thus, if reading The Blackdex , title entries appear on the recto page with the author entries on the verso page inverted and vice versa if reading The Bluedex. Included as well is "The Index to the S-F Magazines 1966," published by Strauss in 1967 s a supplement to the earlier work (56 pp., stapled at the left edge). The magazines indexed in Backdex/Bluedex are- Astounding/Analog Science Fact-Science Fiction, Amazing Stories, Fantastic Stories of Imagination, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Galaxy Magazine, Gamma, Worlds of If, Science Fiction, Worlds of Tomorrow. Very Good. Item #3725
