2005 SUPPLEMENT AMERICAN PERIODICALS THE FOLLOWING IS A CATALOG OF NEW ACQUISITIONS OF THE STEVEN LOMAZOW, M.D. COLLECTION SINCE THE COMPLETION OF AMERICAN PERIODICALS IN 1996. (*) DENOTES THAT THE ITEM SUPERSEDES THE PREVIOUS LISTING OF THE SAME NUMBER. THE REMAINDER ARE EITHER NEW TITLES OR ADDITIONS TO PREVIOUSLY CATALOGUED TITLES. THESE ITEMS ARE LISTED ALPHABETICALLY AND NUMBERED WITH AN "S" PREFIX. A MISCELLANY OF NEW MATERIAL IS PRESENTED. THERE IS ALSO NEW AND ORIGINAL RESEARCH , ANDA MORE AGGRESSIVE PURSUIT OF HIGHLIGHTS OF PULPAND LITTLE MAGAZINES, BOTH BEING DIVERSE AND COMPLEX. ABOUT 800 NEW ITEMS ARE COMPREHENSIVELY CATALOGUED. INADDITION, THEREARE LISTINGS OF "HAMBURGER HELPER" FIRST ISSUES AND AN UPDATED INDEX.
It is interesting to note the period from after the Civil War to the turn of the twentieth century, a large number of magazines, usually of a humorous or scandalous nature, were published. Despite their allegedly large circulations (though many of them clearly exaggerated these numbers) and volume numbers suggesting long publication runs, many of them are virtually unknown, unlisted in ULS or represented by only a few scattered issues. Complete runs of even some quite well-known titles such as Wasp, Truth or Once a Week, the direct descendant of Collier's and McCall's, do not exist. This speaks for the amazingly ephemeral nature and rarity of even the most popular and collectible titles and adds an even greater thrill to the hunt for American periodicals of this era. Over the last few years, the incredible proliferation of the Internet has changed the way the antiquarian book trade is conducted. Auctions such as eBay, book-selling search sites such as Bibliofind, Bookfinder, Alibris and Advanced Book Exchange, as well as thousands of individual websites now permit the avid collector or dealer to spend countless hours sitting at the computer pursuing his or her interests. This is now effecting the type of material seen at book fairs, with many of the highly marketable items, particularly those of lower price, never getting past the computer screen. The amount of dealers at fairs is perceptably shrinking. Non-internet book searching is becoming much less evident. Old staples such as Antiquarian Bookman have ceased to exist. In the new millennium, this trend will undoubtedly persist. Many of the major auction houses are now starting on-line bidding. Eventually (and sadly) it will not at all be necessary to leave one's chair to buy or sell antiquarian books or periodicals, and the alluring aroma of old dusty bookstores will be no more than a memory!

Welcome to the supplement of American Periodicals! It has been nine years since the first edition and countless hours of bookfairs, ephemera shows, and internet searching. This edition shows the fruit of all that searching.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK (NUMBER) TITLE. Volume/issue number; Place of publication Size Number of listings in Union List of Serials; Run information Description. References. The numbers of new entries are consecutive with a prefix "s" for supplement. Titles cited in the first edition of American Periodicals continue their original number. Film periodicals are prefixed by the previous system, divided into fan (f), trade (tr) and in house (h) sub-categories. The number of listings in Union List of Serials, third edition, 1963, reflects holdings in all major libraries in the U.S and Canada. It is an index of relative rarity, though any holding, however incomplete is included. It can be inferred that individual volumes are scarcer and issues in original wrappers even moreso. Items are referenced to those cited in the first edition, most frequently Mott, Kribbs and Albaugh.

(S97) BUSY BROWNIES Philadelphia: V. 1 no. 1; January 5, 1897 Pictorial wrappers; 6 3/8 x 9 1/4 ULS: 0. V. 1 no. 1-12. A rare weekly children's magazine featuring Palmer Cox's famous Brownies. According to Cox authority, Wayne Morgan, Busy Brownies was issued first in a series of 12, which came in 32, 16 & 12 page variations. The 32 page version came with ads or merchant stamps. The 16 page version came with ads, without ads, was offered as a premium and as a supplement to the Philadelphia Inquirer. A 12 page version was both a premium and a give-away as a “set of Palmer Cox Primer”. A much rarer series called The Picturesque World Series was known to be included in Sunday editions for newspapers such as the Albany Times Union. In 1890 Palmer Cox found that the Hubbard Brothers owed him money for the sales of "The Queer People" series. This was a rather handsomely produced series of books (small quarto like the Brownie books) of Cox’s funny animal material. The Hubbards sought to profit from the new popularity of the Brownies with this series. In an effort to settle with the Hubbards, Cox signed a promissory note allowing the Hubbards to break-up the material and make up the money he was owed. What resulted was a series of books which went through a series of publishers and became cheap and ugly until long after the turn of the century. The Hubbards kept some of the work for purposes of advertising. This material is much more interesting for the 19th century researcher than the above mentioned books (by reprinters such as Hurst, Conkey, Donohue and others). This is one of many forms this material took. It seems to have had a retail presence while also being included in newspaper Sunday Supplements. The material is not as rare as eBay sellers suggest. Full sets in public collections are rare, however.
