The Lexicographer's Rules

What possible use could a Google Print search result be without something more than a title of a periodical and page number? It’s not a single-edition book. Aviation Digest was published approximately from 1955 to 2002, but Google Print gives no year, volume, or issue number for the search result. Only the slimmest image of the page is shown with a page number, 9. I guess I could look at page nine in every issue, on a world where each day has a thousand hours. The page also says, “for sale by the Supt. of Docs., U.S. Govt. Print. Off.“ but if you go to the US GPO, there’s no record of the publication.

As a search result, it’s almost useless.

I was looking for a not-really-naughty calendar with a title “maidens…<somethingorother>“  google was offering every irrelevant thing in the world…make sure you try e-bay and amazon because people who would have had the money and interest to buy publications in the 50s [this calendar was 60’s actually and hung on the wall in my dads workshop] are now at a point in life were they are moving to tighter quarters and need the nickles and dimes.  Not a few of them get the idea of hawing the junk in their attic.  I found the calendar (Maidens of 1964) for sale on e-bay.
