[bksvol-discuss] Is it a book or a magazine?

There is a publication called New International. The publisher calls it a
magazine, but it is not published periodically on a monthly, bi-monthly,
yearly or any other kind of schedule. It is published whenever enough
appropriate material has been gathered to justify another issue. That can be
either a
few months between issues or years. The issues are distinguished from one
another by a number, Nue International #1, New International #2, New
International #3, etcetera. Each issue contains several long articles on
political
theory. These articles are not particularly time sensitive. They may make
reference to current events, but they are not news articles that become readily
dated. Each issue has the appearance of a trade paperback book with high
quality binding and book quality paper. I do not have a copy on hand so I don't
know if they have an ISBN or an ISSN, but I am pretty sure that each one
has a title page and a copyright page. If you happened to see a copy you would
lable it a book and not even think of it as a magazine until you saw that
it calls itself a magazine. Pathfinder Press publishes it and I suppose they
call it a magazine because it is the official theoretical journal of the
Socialist Workers Party, but it seems to me that it could just as easily be
called a series of books. Here is the question: Is it appropriate to scan these
for Bookshare?

various ways; the point is to change it." Karl Marx
