The purpose of this list is to give you an idea of what has appeared in BR over the years.
Important Change: We now offer all back issues.
The price is now $5 per back issue, however, KGS members get $1 off for every 4 issues, per order.

Note that issues for 1973-1984 are available on one roll of microfilm for just $15 (2000 pages).

Note that there are many little articles and tidbits in each issue of BR,
along with queries, book reviews, and how-to info.
This is not a complete listing of everything in these issues, just the highlights.

We hope to have info for all back issues out here soon.
