Summary
The following lists all English-language science-fiction magazines covered by this volume together with issue and editorial details. It also covers strongly associational titles. Magazine titles are listed in alphabetical order of first issue. Individual issues are listed for each year together with a cumulative total at the end of each column. The cumulative total includes issues detailed in Volume I. Dates shown are cover dates. The list continues from Volume I and thus starts in January 1951, though first issues are shown if the magazine commenced in 1950. The cut-off date for this volume is December 1970, though magazines that folded in 1971 are shown to their final issue. Issues continuing beyond that date are covered in Volume III. Combined months are shown thus: May/Jun means a single issue with the cover date May/June. Months are abbreviated to their first three characters. Seasonal dates are shown thus: Spr = Spring; Sum = Summer; Aut or Fall = Autumn or Fall; Win = Winter. Seasonal and undated issues are shown in the column corresponding to the month of sale. Reprint editions are not listed unless their contents vary significantly.
