This is a little resource that I hope you collectors out there will find useful.

Compiled from the information in the back of the five volumes of collected short stories and from the invaluable Dick bibliography 'Metaphysical Conjurer' by Phil Stephensen-Payne and Gordon Benson, Jr. here is a checklist of all the pulps and magazines that contain the first appearance of a Dick story. This list is not meant to be definitively informative, in fact I've deliberately left most of the information out. The idea is that if you are going to a book fair or out rummaging around you can print this out and stick it in your back pocket to make the experience less painful and more fruitful.

I updated this list in April 1998 to include novel serialisations, first appearances in anthologies, more mainstream publications and UK edition variations. I hope that being more comprehensive this list will be more useful.

Any comments, corrections or additions very welcome. My e-mail address is at the bottom of the page.
