Index to Desert Magazine Published
By Tom Budlong,
California, USA
Desert Magazine, issued between 1937 and 1985, contained a wealth of valuable information about the American Southwest and other Western localities. Gems and minerals were one of the magazine's specialties. It continuously published stories and articles concerning gem and mineral descriptions and collecting locations. But without an index, any sort of research, casual or serious, is difficult. The Arthur H. Clark Co. has just published such an index, covering all issues in full detail. Collectors of the magazine will appreciate this valuable reference work.
The Index is fully annotated and cross-indexed. Each item in the magazine appears not only under its title, but also under the author's name and the subject (or subjects) it talks about. When applicable, the item is also indexed under a general category, such as Fossils, Gems, Minerals and Petrified Wood, Gology, or Ghost Towns. These features assure the reader of
finding all necessary references to a subject.
