Scope and Content Note

These include: •The Gamer (Issue 1 [July/Aug 1981], Issue 5 [Mar/Apr 1982]) •Games & Puzzles (No. 1 [May 1972]) •Games International (No. 3 [Mar 1988], No. 7 [July 1988], No. 10 [Nov 1988] •Moves (No. 5 [Oct 1972]) •Strategy & Tactics (Vol. 1, No. 8 [Sept 1967]; Vol. 1, No. 9 [Nov 1967]; Vol. 1, No. 10 [Dec 1967]; Vol. 2, No. 1 [Jan/Feb 1968]; Vol. 2, No. 3 [May/Jun 1968]; Vol. 2, No. 4 [July/Aug 1968] (2 copies); Mar/Apr 1969; No. 27 [May/Jun 1971]; No. 30 [Jan 1972]; No. 33 [July 1972] (2 copies); No. 41 [Nov/Dec 1973]; No. 83 [Nov/Dec 1980]; No. 100 [Mar/Apr 1985].
