[Publib] Suggestions on good resources for magazine/journal

[Bruce Brigell]

I just happened to have an old volume of the Readers' Guide [1939-1941]
at my desk for another question I'm working on & I find that Arizona
Highways was not indexed back then--

Much of the Readers Guide is available electronically, including older
