Scope and Contents

Although each issue also has volume numbering (eg., Volume 2, Number 4), a large number of errors in this numbering system make it unreliable for reference purposes (for example, three separate issues are labeled Volume 4, Number 5).

Abstract
Neopets The Official Magazine (sometimes referred to as Neopets Magazine) was the official licensed magazine for Neopets, published from 2003–2008 by collectibles publication company Beckett Media. In addition to covering Neopets strategy — including tips on designing HTML webpages — the magazine also included guides to collecting Neopets trading cards and plushies, which was Beckett Media's speciality. The magazine appears to have been published bimonthly.
According to the donor of the bulk of the library's collection of Neopets The Official Magazine, when was discontinued around January 1998, subscribers were instead given a subscription to Plushie Pals, a Beckett Media magazine about stuffed animal collecting that also included coverage for kid-friendly web games like Neopets and Club Penguin.
Arrangement
Due to their limited gaming content, issues of Plushie Pals have been shelved separately from the main library magazine collection.
