Back in the early 1980s, a series of magazines was published by Viaduct Publishing with the title Complete Bestsellers, later shortened to Bestsellers. I was digging around for information on the artists who had contributed to the various issues and found that the series had extended beyond those titles currently listed on the Fictionmags Index. I found a reference to a vol. 4 no.3, although there's a chance it might be a typo. The following lists adds a little information on illustrators and some additional titles, although there are still a surprising number of gaps. Can anyone help with information or scans?
