Group H: Periodicals-13 boxes

Samples of many book-collecting, typographical, and library magazines. Some of those with somewhat more substantial runs are Albion, Auction, Black Art, Book Collecting And Library Monthly, Book Club Of California Keepsakes, Book Club Of California Quarterly Newsletter, Book Collector's Market, Book Collector's Packet, Book Mart, Devil's Artisan, Dime Novel Round-Up, Firsts, Guild Of Book-Workers' Journal, Journal Of The Ex Libris Society, Paperback Quarterly, Printing & Graphic Arts, Printing Art, Rare Books Newsletter, Reading & Collecting, Yellowback Quarterly

[NOTE: Many of these are small-size journals with short runs, and I have sent them as a compact sampling of what was going in this area in the second half of the twentieth century, useful in its own right even though Columbia May already have some of them. But I have not sent my long runs of standard library journals or the journals of rare-book libraries, on the assumption that Columbia does already have them and would not want second sets of such space-consuming journals, even though mine are in the original wrappers. (Only two volumes from my run of Penrose Annual are here because they are among the volumes that Columbia lacks.)]
