The original plan was to publish sets of four titles: two "full count" reprints of single issues of pulps and two original "best of" collections of stories selected by a group of editors. Each volume would feature stories from a particular pulp title. Though they were called "full count" reprints, the Odyssey Publications reprints of single issues of pulps were not complete cover-to-cover facsimiles because they omitted all the original ads and thus had fewer pages and different pagination.By the time the company finally went out of business sometime around 1986, only six "full count" reprints and five original collections had been published.   Note: If the covers of some issues appear off-register, it's not the scan. The color registration of the covers of the Odyssey Publications was often badly off register.
