Introduction

The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction has been published since 1949, although issue #1 was titled The Magazine of Fantasy. Extensive cross-referenced bibliography up to 1999 (including Venture Science Fiction Magazine) by Ray Lovell. See also the magazine website at sfsite.com. Post-2000 issues contents mostly available at their "Back issues" page (even when an issue is sold-out, the page is available on a predictable URL) or the "Departments" one: note that much of recent nonfiction content is available on the website.

Holes in the 1974-1994 era were filled by the Schaefer collection, which was the primary source for 1965-1973 data.
