The Newsday TV Book Collection Sub-Archiving.

That's a fancy way of saying I added a more comprehensive list of my ol' Newsday TV Books to my "archive" post. I have a hard copy, of course--we mental patients love a paper trail--but I wanted the list on here so I could refer to it more easily (like during those rare occasions when I'm not sequestered in my Nerd Room, on my phone scouring eBay for new acquisitions).

Once I decided to add the list, I realized that I could include links to my write-ups of individual issues. This indexing doesn't work for the early years of my collection because I didn't list those by issue. Maybe I'll remedy this at some point, but holy smokes that's a whole 'nother undertaking, as most of the issues featured in posts on this blog are from those years. In case you haven't noticed (and you haven't), there's a LOT. [Okay, it's done! Check out all links to individual issue posts RIGHT HERE!!!]

1972: Begins with the issue for 4/9-15 (which is the first one--and I have two copies!) and runs the rest of the year, lacking only Sep 10-16, with nine doubles.
1973:
Entire year, missing only Dec 16-22 (of COURSE it had to be an almost-Christmas issue!), eight doubles.
1974:
Five shy of the entire year: I need Jan 27-Feb 2; Feb 10-16; Apr 14-20; Apr 21-27; and May 12-18.
1975:
I just have January and February, the last issue ending March 1st.

[From here on out it's easier to list what I have, not what I need.
I had highlighted the dozen or so instances of consecutive issue runs, but I found it visually chaotic so it got kiboshed. I stuck in arrows instead.]

1976: Just one stinking issue: Feb 8-14.
1977: I have thirteen issues: Jan 30-Feb 5; Feb 13-19; Mar 6-12; Mar 27-Apr 2; May 22-28; Jun 12-18; Jul 17-23; Jul 31-Aug 6; Aug 28-Sep 3; Sep 25-Oct 1; Oct 16-22
;➡Oct 23-29; Nov 13-19; and then a spectacular five-issue run from post-Thanksgiving (Nov 27) to New Year's Eve. Here's a look at part of the Christmas issue.
