Max,

A number of publishers do this dastardly thing--they issue a combined
issue at the end of the year (with numbering for the earlier volume only),
but when their first issue of the next volume comes out--they call it
no.2! Blast them!

Another title that does this is Billboard. Our microfiche supplier films
the combined issue twice--once at the end of the earlier year/volume,
again at the beginning of the new year/volume. They had us confused for
awhile because our fiche was coming in beginning with no.1, when no.1 was
not really published as such.

***My thought was that the combined January issue is the unnumbered number
one.  However, you're right - the website shows an article from the Jan.
16, 2002 issue.  OTOH, none of the library's I normally search for issues
has it.

***So, we're left guessing?

Just a quick note to say I clicked on the "feedback" link on their
website, and asked if they did or did not publish vol. 251 #1, Jan. 16,
2002, issue, and if so, to please consider that query a claim.

Perhaps if more of us do that, they will be a little more
alert/aware next time?
