Nice find

Nice find. But I confess that whenever I do run across SF pulp magazines while poking for SF books, I rarely give them a second glance. I know that whats inside made be just as good or even better than the surrounding books, but I fear that if I started picking up these mags, there would be no end to it.

Years ago I had a years subscription to Asimovs (mid 80's). I found that it was hard to keep up with reading it and they seemed to just pile up for the most part. Keep in mind that I was reading SF in book form voraciously at the same time.

I found that while the great stories within the mags were just as good  as the great stories in the books, the clunkers were somewhat lesser than their book counterparts. Which is sometimes just the natural selection process that goes into the book selection process.

I liked the MIT angle. I checked out the website. For a fun but confusing peek into the inner going on at the MIT SFS, check out their meeting minutes .
