Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions.  I think we will bind these volumes even though there are missing issues.  However, I discovered we did not list the missing issues anywhere, so no one has made any effort to replace them.  I'll likely have a student worker do that, and then we'll bind.

Thank you again!

Let’s face it, Life magazine is hardly a scholarly journal. You might as well bind it. Unbound issues of Life look like hell on the shelf…..

Hi,

 

My predecessor left binding instructions which said if a volume is missing issues, you should not bind it.

 

We have several volumes of Life magazine that we were planning to bind, but I've found many issues missing from each volume (anywhere from 2-5).

 

Do you ever justify binding volumes with missing issues like this?

 

Thank you
