Ray Brown Stories!
Patrick D. Rockwell
including "Identity Crisis" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" which are my
favorite. Were any of the stories in Analog EXCLUSIVELY in Analog, or can
they be found in other places? If Ray Brown has
put out any Anthologies, I'd like to know about them.
By the way, I wish that Analog would make ALL of their back issues available
on CD/DVD/E-book form someday. About 20 years ago, they were going to make
them available on Micro-Fiche, but that fell through. The lady that I spoke
to today at Dell Magazines said that in order
to do this, they'd have to contact all of the authors and get their
permission. But sooner or later, their are going to have to do something to
preserve those old paper issues before they rot, won't they? Maybe someone
should start a petition.
Speaking of petitions, I just got a two-year subscription for Analog in
E-book form, but discovered that the E-books of Analog don't have the
pictures or artwork that the actual physical magazine does. Just the cover
art. That was the reason why I called Dell Magazine. The lady that I
spoke to said that they'd add the pictures if there was a demand for it. :-)

stories appear in other publications, or just Analog? Are (ss), (bg), (nv)
the acronyms for the other publications? Thanks in advance for any further
information.

Yeah, I guess you and I were in the same boat. Actually, I did send for and
receive the microfiche for their VERY FIRST issue. I would've saved
up for the reader and other microfiche issues, but the offer dried up and
blew away.

I agree with you there. Or else they would have had just as much trouble
putting it out on microfiche. Well, I don't know how things are now, but
they should at least try to preserve the old archived copies that they have.
I'm sure that they would if enough people petitioned them to do so.

I'm not sure which database Guy was getting those listings from,
but those abbreviations are fairly standard (I think). ss is
short story, bg is biography and nv is novelette. See:
Linkname: The Locus Index to Science Fiction: 1984-1999
URL: http://www.locusmag.com/index/abbrev.html
for the Locus database's table of abbreviations, which also
helpfully contains their page/word-length definitions for novel,
novella, novelette and short story. (Fast mnemonic for those
four: the longer the term is, the shorter the corresponding story
type is. ("Vignette," though, breaks the pattern.))

Around Much Anymore"? Did anyone ever read those? :-)

Hmm, I wonder what happens in that case. When a magazine goes out of print,
isn't it usually archived somewhere? The Library perhaps?
Dan Goodman
I can think of only two libraries likely to have it -- the MIT sf club's
library in Boston, and the sf library at Texas A&M.
Specialty sf bookstores sell old magazines. Collectors archive them, and
are sometimes willing to let other people read them.

Whatever you wish for me, may you have twice as much.

MIT Science Fiction Society <http://www.mit.edu/~mitsfs/>, and we,
like MIT itself, are in Cambridge, across the river from Boston.
(I think Michael Collins made the same mistake in _Carrying the
Fire_, recalling his trips up here to talk with the Draper Labs
folks about the Apollo guidance package, so you're in good company.)
And without being at the Library to check, I'd say it's very, very
likely that we do indeed have the two volumes in question (Amazing
Stories, November 1980 and Worlds of If, September-November 1986).
