Where can I find AAPG Journals?

Question

Hello friends,

I'm looking for back issues (1980-2007) for a geology periodical
called "American Association for Petroleum Geologists" (AAPG) I am
told that I can read them online, however I prefer to read the
hardcopy. Does anyone know where I can purchase these or find back
issues?

Thanks,
Mike

As was said before, that is a lot of periodicals and your best source is probably some sort of library. I checked eBay and found that you can purchase 1985-2006 for a decent price (~$1.90 an issue) but you might check the library first.

The eBay link is http://cgi.ebay.com/AAPG-American-Assn-of-Petroleum-Geologists-Bulletins_W0QQitemZ150128989582QQihZ005QQcategoryZ4259QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

That would be 27 years of monthly publications. Very expensive purchase. My suggestion is that you go to a major university library. Perhaps the geological library at a large university would have archived these publications. Alternately, you might check with the nearest exploration office of a major oil company. They might have a small library with the volumes available for reading.
