Theoretically, I might be able to find out what I /purchased/ in 1968
and kept all the years since, as they would have an "F-<number>"
written on them, but it would take a while and still wouldn't be
complete.

I mostly read mass-market PBs and SFBC (and MG, LG, DBC and maybe
others) editions, so /in/ 1968 I would likely have been reading things
published in 1967. Or before.
