I'm interested in old Game Doctor magazines and strategy books. Those magazines usually contained a list of available games with its sfxxx filename & screenshot, golden finger codes, ads for copiers and even floppy disk labels 
I was only able to find the Game Doctor Strategy Book 96 V.1 on archive.org:
https://archive.org/details/game-doctor-strategy-book-96
If someone has these books, please scan and upload it. Thanks a lot

Thanks for this!
I don’t believe these were intended for end users but, instead, they served as a catalog for street/marketplace vendors to present t users. This is how you browsed the latest games without the Internet in parts of the world where you couldn’t just officially buy the same games from a major retailer. The users would pick the games they wanted and then get discs, labels, etc from the vendor, sometimes with a clear molded plastic “Super Famicom†clamshell that looked like the ones included with Game Boy carts back then.

Interesting find. I browsed quickly but noticed pictures of the old Saphan Lek and Pantip Plaza in Bangkok. Those were respectively the main places to get get pirate console and PC gear back in the 90s - early 2000.
As for you first post, I have that catalog at my parents basement, it's a UFO floppy label album.
