Suggested options:

  1. Display the format of each issue, e.g. "November [pulp]" or "April 24 [webzine]".
  2. Display the formats only if there are multiple formats anywhere in the grid. For example, it would mean displaying all formats in the Astounding (1937-1971) grid because its format changed from pulp to digest to bedsheet and then back to digest between 1943 and 1966.
  3. Display the formats only if there are multiple formats within a cell. No formats would be displayed for Astounding because there is only one issue per cell. On the other hand, the "August" and "September" cells of the 2014 row in the Fantastic Stories of the Imagination grid would display "[tp]" and "[ebook]" next to each issue.

Implemented solution:

  1. Determine the most common format used by the displayed magazine
  2. Display it in the header
  3. If there issues with other formats, add the words "(unless indicated otherwise)" to the header
  4. For issues whose format doesn't match the most commonly used format, display the format next to the issue title.
