Actually volumes 3-8 all ran over two years: 3.1 is apparently 1976, and 3.2 is 1977; volume 4 is when "Spring/Fall" start appearing on the cover, so 4.1 is "Spring 1978", 4.2 is "Fall 1979", and so on... However, volume 6 has two "Spring" volumes (6.1 is "Spring 1981" and 6.2 is "Spring 1982"), and volume 8 seems to have been delayed a year (Fall 84/Spring 85, rather than the expected 83/84).

Starting with volume 9, the volumes and years were aligned, even for years when only one issue came out (2003 and 2004).
