In response to Steve Murden's question re: Illustrated London news:

We have received the special issue, Red Berets '44 and cataloged it as a
monograph with a 500 note: "Produced for the Airbourne Forces and the
Parachute Regiment by the Illustrated London News" -- Contents page.  We
also have another 500 note: Issued as the 50th anniversary edition of the
Illustrated London news.

We have received the Victory 45 issue, but did not catalog it as a monograph,
choosing istead to keep it with current issues of the journal.  To date, we
have received the Christmas issue for 1994 & 1995, and the summer issue for
1996.

In addition, we have been receiving quarterly issues of Orient-express
magazine beginning with v.11, no.3 (1994).

I hope this information is useful to you.

We also received the "Red Berets '44" issue but since we were not
aware of the publication changes at that time, we did not check it in
or consider it part of our 'regular' subscription. I think we should
treat it as such.  It won't be catalogued as a monograph.  Aside
from the Christmas issue for 1994 that is all we received.  Unlike
Steve Murden's library, we have been receiving Orient Express
Magazine on a regular (quarterly) basis since v. 11 (1994).
