[Transcriber's note:
This was a catalog from a magazine subscription agency MANY
YEARS AGO. It is presented in order to show a cross section of
the periodicals for the general public, and some professional
journals, published in the USA at that time, and the kinds of
subscription prices they asked. Obviously, the offers are NO
LONGER AVAILABLE and most of these periodicals are no longer
published! The only other thing I know about Mr. Cottrell is
that he was apparently an avid player of horseshoe pitching.
The booklet had 40 octavo size pages and there were two forms
inserted loose into its pages; the contents of those forms
appear at the end of this document. The booklet itself had
four kinds of content. 1) Instructions and self-promotion by
D. D. Cottrell. 2) Advertisements inserted by various
publishers. 3) An extensive alphabetical list of the
American publications offered via the company. 4) An extensive
variety of "club lists"--offers of an even more special price
on particular combinations of two or more magazines, not
necessarily from the same publisher. This was a common
practice at the time. Comments in square brackets, other than
the footnotes, were added during the process of transcribing
the booklet to an etext. Enough blathering; here follows the
actual contents of the booklet.]
