thank-you for your excessively generous implicit offer to provide, free-of-charge, with a scanner, so that yr hmbl srppnt. might be able to scan magazine - and p/b, and h/cvr, and cd, and lp, and dvd, and audio cassette - covers;
however, this potentially extremely helpful offer does not affect the fact that the publisher's name - john spencer & co. - and the imprint name upon most of (not all of) the issues of this magazine are not what define its identity as a magazine:
it is a periodical (mostly bi-monthly) magazine complete with issue numbers, magazine title, (pseudonymous) editor(s) who just happened to be the (pseudonymous) publishers, the ''john spencer'' of ''john spencer & co., ltd. publishers''.
i have provided elsewhere a (non-exhaustive) list of magazines published in digest format p/b - so being published in this format clearly does not exclude a magazine from being a magazine.
the different - and differently-numbered - issues of this magazines are absolutely not different editions of one single digest format p/b, as they were beginning to be entered in ''bookcat'';
nor are they different editions of a few digest format p/bs by a single author, as some of them were being entered in ''bookcat'', even though the contents of some issues of the magazine do happen to be all by a single author - under various house names and pseudonyms, and perhaps a form of their real name;
as the contents of the different - and differently-numbered - issues of this magazine are different, from one issue to the next, as is typical of different issues of a magazine - and most definitely not characteristic of the various h/cvr & p/b editions and printings of any one novel, nor of any one single-author collection, nor of any one anthology.
Have added cover (as you seem unable to do so) and as it quote clearly states on the cover twice 'Badger Books' and 'A Bi-Monthly Pocket Book'!!
Have been searching all through my copies of this book and have yet to see the word magazine anywhere as strangely enough 'Badger' only produced Books & Comics!
Hope this helps with your grasp of the concept and the difference between a book and a magazine!
Please only add books to the list that you own as it a stipulation of adding content on this site!
