Recently I received in the mail 17 issues of Worlds of IF, all published from 1952 through 1961. I have the complete run of the magazines from 1962 through its demise in 1974, and it is one of my favorite fiction magazines ever (along with Galaxy of which I have the complete run from 1950 through 1980). I currently have slightly more than 1,200 issues of fiction magazine, nearly all of them science fiction magazines. The exceptions are 16 issues of fantasy magazines and 17 issues of Chinese Literature. In some ways I prefer reading fiction magazines and fiction anthologies than I do novels, which tend to be bloated rather than concise. Here are the magazines of which I have the most issues in my collection:
