THE LOMAZOW COLLECTION BEGAN IN 1972…
However, Dr. Steven Lomazow’s collecting intensified in 1987 after his acquisition of a major collection from the State Street Bookshop in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Since this time, great effort has been devoted to acquiring the first issues and/or first volumes of every major American magazine. It has evolved to encompass literary highlights and the best examples from virtually every genre of American popular culture. When the first issue has not been acquired, many titles are represented by illustrative type copies.
The collection is the history of America as reflected in its periodicals. No stone has been left unturned to acquire the finest material. I have attended countless book and ephemera fairs throughout the country and scoured dealers catalogs, websites and online auction sites. While obviously no collection can include everything, this is clearly the finest accumulation in private hands of important American periodicals. It can never be reproduced. A 1996 catalog and a 2005 addendum are available.

The death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1945 sent shock waves around the world. His lifelong physician swore that the president had always been a picture of health. Later, in 1970, Roosevelt’s cardiologist admitted he had been suffering from uncontrolled hypertension and that his death—from a cerebral hemorrhage—was “a cataclysmic event waiting to happen.” But even this was a carefully constructed deceit, one that began in the 1930s and became acutely necessary as America approached war.
In this great medical detective story and narrative of a presidential cover-up, an exhaustive study of all available reports of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s health, and a comprehensive review of thousands of photographs, an intrepid physician-journalist team reveals that Roosevelt at his death suffered from melanoma, a skin cancer that had spread to his brain and abdomen. Roosevelt’s condition was not only physically disabling, but also could have affected substantially his mental function and his ability to make decisions in the days when the nation was imperiled by World War II.
