VII, i.e. up to the time of its takeover by the (now defunct) Columbia Univ. Library School with vol. VII, no. 2/3. Phaedrus began as a bibliographic newsletter (Vol. I is 1973/4) with a few short reviews and 2 issues per year. The format evolved constantly, so that by the time of vol. VI (1979), there are theme issues, primarily bibliographic issues, more extensive reviews, and 3 issues/yr. Some theme issue topics are: Children's literature in Scandinavia, in New England, managing collections of children's books, children's periodicals, etc. Vol. V no. 2 (Fall, 1978) contains an article by the collector and children's book antiquarian Walter Schatzki, signed by Mr. Schatzki on the first page of the article. Some issues illustrated. Points of interest are the bibliographic coverage of dissertations and bibliographic works (often reviewed), and the persistent international perspective.
