Received an email from a friend, shown in part below, who thinks I know all things monster. Wrong. Any help would be most appreciated. (a) What issue/magazine is he referring to? (b) Where can I buy a back issue?
Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge.

I'd like to get a complete copy of the issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland that had a huge impact on me when I was a kid.
My mother bought the issue for me at a tiny grocery store--Balla's Foods--on Rosecrans Boulevard in Gardena.
The issue contains photos from The Birds, Freaks, and 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, so, the issue had to have been published in 1964 at the earliest.
I just looked at several web sites that have back issues of FMF, but the covers of none of them looks familiar, and there's no list of contents.
For the record, I've considered the possibility that what I owned was a knock-off of FMF, but I'm fairly certain my mag was FMF.
