Back in 1996 when these "split" the publisher was very helpful, and sent us a copy of each to verify that they are not substantially different, just as you did. Also, both "editions" had the same ISSN, and nothing had been done to the OCLC record. We decided to keep the "Primary", and put a note in our catalog in case anyone asked. But I just checked, and see that there are now seperate OCLC records, so thanks for bringing this up! But can anyone verify the ISSN issue? My instinct is that both can have the same one since content isn't substantially different. But it is certainly confusing!

The magazines' contents are astonishingly alike. I've just examined our May/June issue and there are some differences. The primary issue has a theme club section (1 page foldout) and a poster. (baseball). The teaching writing section (p. 57-58) is different and has a different author, and the summer reading booklist is different. With approximately 5 pages out of 75 that are different, it certainly seems that this could be all one magazine as it was in the past.

I wasn't aware they were one and the same. We only wanted one or the other (on a consistent basis) but seem to get first one and then the other. When I talked to the publisher about establishing which one we wanted, I was never told the content was the same. This information helps! Maybe I shouldn't worry about which one we get and accept what comes. Thanks for the information.
