Each issue had articles on aquarium publication history plus articles related to book and magazine collecting in general. This publication ran from May 1983 through June 1994 for a total of 55 issues. (August through November 1988 was a combined issue 25/26 and March through July 1989 was marked 29/30 1989.)
