    Subject: Early F&SF Magazines For Sale

    For Sale:
    The Magazine of Fantasy, Vol.1 No.1 (Fall '49) and Vol.1 No.3
    (Summer '50) (This was the progenitor of F&SF Mag.)
    Fantasy & Science Fiction: Dec. '50, Dec. '51
    Fantasy & Science Fiction: complete years; '52, '53, '54, '55, '56,
    '58, '59, '61, '62, '63, '64.  Also Jan. & Feb. '65.
    All in excellent condition.
    In re-reading these over the past couple of years, I am amazed
    at how much of what we now think of as "classic" SF was first
    printed in F&SF.  Other good stuff too--like the stories that
    were later turned into "Wodehouse Playhouse" on public TV.

I find it very hard to believe that Wodehouse ever published anything in
F&SF.  Can the sender of this ad, or anyone else, supply story titles
and dates as confirmation of this claim?

I'm the guy who purchased the magazines.  On at least one cover, I
noticed Wodehouse's name.  I'll check the magazines and get a specific
listing of stories, but it will take a few days (there are over 130
magazines, and my free time is scarce).  Doesn't there exist some
form of reference that lists all SF authors (as of such-and-such a
date), their stories, and the place the stories where published?
