Hello-
        We decided to have our Broadcasting & Cable holdings on microfilm
right from the start.  In addition to the size changes, theft and
mutilation of weekly issues was also a consideration.

Cordially,

        Our library uses the National Library Bindery Company, and when
they bind a volume with the oversized issue they add some "filler paper"
around the smaller issues so the volume retains its shape, though we end
up with this volume being much larger than all the others.
