My magazine collection

Since November 2022, I've been frequently reading and collecting certain magazines, and it eventually became a collection/archive. I periodically buy, in alphabetical order: Bavul, Bilim ve Teknik, Kafkaokur, LubunFanzin, and Ot. I buy #tarih and Kafasına Göre too but occasionally. Aside those, there are a lot of issues of Ayarsız, Kafa, and Sadece Şiir (I couldn't get Ayarsız's March 2025 issue, and stopped buying it after; I stopped buying Kafa and Sadece Şiir in May 2025), plus a few issues of other magazines (often because I got interested in a single issue or two and bought it). This page has the list of available magazines and issues, alongside with missing issues I'd like to add to the collection soon.

• #tarih: Issues #96, #97, #98, #100, #101, #102, #103, #104, #114, #118, and #124 (November 2022, December 2022-January 2023, February 2023, April 2023, May 2023, June 2023, July 2023, August 2023, June 2024, October 2024; and April 2025) are available.
• Ayarsız: All issues between November 2022 and February 2025 are available, those two included.
• Bavul: Started buying in November 2022. Issues #91 and #93 (June-July and October-November 2023) are missing.
• Bilim ve Teknik: All issues between December 2022 (when I started buying it) and April 2025 are available. December 2022 and April 2025 included.
• Kafa: Started buying in December 2022. Issues #108, #109, #110, #115, and #120 (September, October, November 2023; April and September 2024) and the Kitap Kafası booklet that came with issue #101 (February 2023) are missing.
• Kafasına Göre: Issues #59, #60, and #61 available.
• Kafkaokur: All issues from November 2022 (when I started buying it) to April 2025 are available. November 2022 and April 2025 included.
• LubunFanzin: #1 and #2 available.
• Ot: Started buying in November 2022. Issues #126, #127, and #135 (October, November 2023; and September 2024) are missing. In addition, there are four special issues available: 2023/01, 2023/02, 2024/01, 2024/03, and 2025/01.
• Sadece Şiir: Issues #12-#19 available (including those two).
• Some other magazines I bought for only a few times or so: Bilge Çocuk (June 2023 and Special Issue 02/2023), Bilim Çocuk (May 2023), Cins (August 2023), Cosmopolitan (#1 and #2. Also, Cosmopolitan has mutliple covers for each issue, but there's no difference in content; I have the Ebrar Karakurt cover for #1, and I have the cover in which Berrak Tüzünataç is sitting for #2), and Genç Motto (August 2024).

Updates (Newest on the top)

• May 2, 2025 - Got Bilim ve Teknik yesterday! I'm expecting Ot to arrive soon. I've also made the decision to stop buying Kafa and Sadece Şiir due to a couple problems I have with Kafa Medya Grup. Bavul still seems to be on hiatus, but they're continuing to occassionally post on social media. I think since the next issue will be their 100th one, they're cooking up something special. They can take all the time they want, I'm really excited to see what they'll release! Kafkaokur gave a teaser for their new issue, it'll take a bit to be released I guess.
• April 8, 2025 - So on the same day I wrote the previous update, I went and bought #tarih. It's certainly on the way to become a more serious history magazine. I'm thinking of buying it more often. I also bought Kafkaokur today! Also, I forgot that I wrote "Stopped buying in April 2025" to Kafa in the previous update thing. I was thinking of stopping to buy Kafa but later gave up. ALSO OMG I JUST CHECKED #TARİH'S WEBSITE AND THEY'RE SAYING THAT THEY'RE GOING ON HIATUS, I hope everything's alright.
• April 5, 2025 - So, last month, I guess I bought every magazine I buy periodically (plus Kafasına Göre) except Ayarsız. I missed Ayarsız. And this month, only one (1) copy of it came to my local Migros (I didn't buy it btw). I'm boycotting D&R, so the only way to acquire Ayarsız at this point has become buying it from Dergi Kapında, so, online, which is really hard. So I guess I'll stop collecting Ayarsız, at least for the time being. It's also safe to say that I won't buy Cosmopolitan at all (at least for the time being) either, due to things related to the boycott, so I moved it to the "magazines I bought for only a few times or so" list. This month, I bought Bilim ve Teknik, Ot, and Kafa. I yet have to buy Sadece Şiir and Kafkaokur. I'm also contemplating to buy #tarih this month. For the last few months it appears that it wants to become a more serious magazine? Like, it's having a makeover that is apparent in the cover, I'd like to buy it this month to see what's going on. By the way, Bavul has been on hiatus since issue #99, though they occassionally post on their Instagram but not about any new issue, I'm a bit concerned.
• February 15, 2025 - KAFA, KAFKAOKUR, OT, BİLİM VE TEKNİK, SADECE ŞİİR, AYARSIZ, ALL ACQUIRED! Btw, Ot didn't release a new usual issue this month but rather a Şarkılarla special issue.
• January 20, 2025 - Picked up LubunFanzin #2 from the post office today! Wohooo!!
• January 12, 2025 - Got Bavul a bit after a while I posted the previous update. Got Bilim ve Teknik, Kafa, Kafkaokur, Ot, and Kafasına Göre around the beginning of the month. Bought Ayarsız today. I'm expecting LubunFanzin #2 to arrive soon. I've given up on periodically collecting Cosmopolitan for the time being, because I've become a bit too uncomfortable collecting it? It's difficult to explain. I think, like, I'm not old enough yet for Cosmopolitan. For now, I'll buy it occassionally. I may start collecting it periodically again around December this year though! I hope you understand. I also think that I may buy Kafasına Göre more, as it has become more accessible in my area. Also, where is the new issue of Sadece Şiir? I'm wondering.
• December 23, 2024 - I got this month's Bilim ve Teknik, Kafa, Kafkaokur, and Ayarsız. I yet have to buy Bavul's new issue (it arrived in my local Migros, I saw it). I saw Cosmopolitan's November 2024 issue once in my local Migros, but didn't buy it, and next time I went there, it was gone. Couldn't find in the D&R nor in the Migros of a nearby mall either. It was most likely called back. Oh, I also had gotten Kafasına Göre's November-December 2024 issue out of curiousity (and because it was in my local Migros). Also, LubunFanzin #2 will be out soon I think. I'm excited!!
• November 7, 2024 - Bought this month's issue of Ayarsız today. It finally came to my local Migros. Epic!
• November 4, 2024 - Bought this month's issue of Ot at around late October (27th? 28th? It came out early), bought this month's issue of Bilim ve Teknik yesterday, and bought this month's issues of Kafa and Kafkaokur today! Shoutout to the small market btw, Migros still doesn't have Kafa's and Kafkaokur's new issues but it did.
  
  And... Guess what! We got a new addition to our collection: LubunFanzin! I physically obtained issue #1 today! I'll try my best to obtain every issue of it.
• October 21, 2024 - It's been a long while since I updated this. Whatever, I missed Ot and Kafa's September 2024 issues. Oof. I obtained Kafa's newest issue a while ago though. There have been zero news about Ot's October 2024 issue. Same for Bavul. It's very strange.
  
  Cosmopolitan launched last month. Bought last month's issue last month (duh) and this month's issue today. Today I also grabbed the new issue of Sadece Şiir. I got Kafkaokur's new issue a week ago or something. Same with Bilim ve Teknik and Ayarsız. Grabbed #tarih this month too.
  
  I also organized the archive and the list on this page according to alphabetical order!
• September 11, 2024 - Bought this month's issue of Ayarsız two days ago, and added it to the archive. I'm considering to visit a D&R to obtain the new issues of Kafa and Ot. Should also visit a sahaf sometime soon for the missing issues of Bavul.
• September 7, 2024 - Bought this month's issue of Kafkaokur today. I also had bought Bilim ve Teknik's new issue a few days ago. Added those to the archive. It has also turned out that I actually have Ot's September 2023 issue, so I removed that from the missing issues list.
