This index is a companion volume and supplement to the "Index to Science Fiction Magazines 1951-1965," published by Erwin S. Strauss, and the "Index to the Science Fiction Magazines 1966-1970," published by the New England Science Fiction Association. This present volume includes all United States and British Science Fiction magazines published in 1971 and 1972. The index also includes anthologies which publish science fiction stories and which present all, or mostly all, new work as distinguished from anthologies which primarily reprint stories. The index includes citations by magazine or book, by title, and by author, as well as a checklist of the items indexed. The magazine checklist includes the month (or season) of the year, volume and number, page size, number of pages, and cover artists. The anthology checklist includes the series number (if any), paperback or hardcover publication, publisher, and editor. (DI)
