Dear Librarian (and any individual willing to contribute a date)

As many of you are aware, 2010 is the 75th anniversary year of Imago Mundi 
(founded in Berlin in 1935 by Leo Bagrow). To mark the occasion, a Special 
Issue is being prepared under the Guest Editorship of Professor Mike Heffernan 
(University of Nottingham). 

We propose to include a few comments on Bagrow and the early years of his 
journal. To this end, we should should greatly appreciate your help in telling 
us the year in which your library or insitution FIRST subscribed to Imago 
Mundi. 

There is just one caveat, that of the retrospective purchase of early issues. 
Up to a point this is easy to ascertain, as Volumes 1 to 15 inclusive were 
reprinted by N. Israel in Amsterdam (he took over annual publication with vol 
16, 1962) and each reprint is identified on the title page of each volume. So 
if your library has a run of those reprints, they were a later aquisition.

Please reply off list to me personally  ([email protected]). And please 
accept in advance our warm thanks for your help.  We are hoping to have a truly 
international response, as befits the internationality of the journal itself.

 Best wishes

Catherine Delano-Smith
