The ABA thanks Herb and Kathryn Stafford for their time and effort in preparing this list from 1978 to 2007. Note: The Bell Tower in the early years did not have a number on every page. For the sake of consistency, magazines prior to 1978 begin with the front cover, inside cover, and then page one. Every page thereafter is numbered in numerical order unless there is a printed page number on it.
