(re: Interaction Magazine List) Brandon and Frans,
Here is my list of Sierra magzines. Brandon, it looks like your Spring and Fall of 97 are ones that I “need” to work towards making a complete collection. Once you lock down a formula for scanning/compressing/archiving the magazines, I will follow your lead, and begin scanning my copies as well for the archives. If you, or anyone else would like to sell/trade any Sierra Pulications with me please let your offers be known – I’m anxious to fill in the holes (about 15 I guesstimate) Ken can you help us with the history of the newsletter? Particularly around the 1981 Time Period – I know there is a newsletter with Cranston Manor on Front, and I have no idea what falls before that, and between the SN Vol 1 No 2 that I have – was the Cranston Manor Vol 1 No 1?
I am also assuming that there is a Vol 1 No 3, and am not quite sure about Vol 2 No 3 and No 4, since we go from Spring 1989 to Autumn 1989 without a summer. Another question – There are two Volume 3 No 1 magazines… they have different content in them, which makes them different than Holiday 95 and 96 which have the same content just alternate covers – I can’t remember why this was – was one a mailed copy and the other the ones that appeared in the magazine rack? It would be great if everyone could check their collections against what I have here, and note any other Alternate covers, so we can be sure to scan those as well. I want to piece together a complete computer list, that is historcially correct, so any acurate information that can be given would be awesome.
As a side note – I have many of the original mailings that Sierra had, promoting special offers and such back in the day. They are kinda fun to look at, and I plan on scanning those as well, should there be an interest for that in the community.
