Stranded was produced from 1977 to 1980. Its locus was the Strand Bookstore, and most but not all the contributors were Strand employees. There was no editor or editing; anyone was welcome to contribute as long as their contribution consisted of the requisite number of items, whether copies of a page or pages or individual artifacts–the number was 300 for the first issue, but as this taxed the budget of many potential contributors it was reduced to 200 thereafter. Luc Sante designed the packaging of issues one to three. Four was packaged by Richard Lilly; Sante designed the contents page. They were assembled by a revolving cast that usually included Frank Kogan, Robin Lee Crutchfield, and Bob Galipeau.
N.b.: In some cases, works listed in the contents may not be included in the issue;last-minute decisions and disappointments were a regular feature.
