Bob Mizer first released films by names only, then added film numbers which put those early releases in alphabetical order. After that, they were numbered as he either released them or made them.
There was a lot of variation in titles depending on the space he had to list them, sometimes dropping "the" or using "&" for "and" to squeeze them in. Wrestling films would use "vs" one time or "and" or "-" at other times usually with only last name but sometimes including first name. The titles entered here use just one title rather than try to maintain a lengthy list of every wording.
Spelling of performer names were also highly varied with names like Meyer spelled three different ways for the same guy. Both full names, sometimes including middle name or initial, and nick names were used for a single performer but mostly just nick names. Even those could vary in spelling from one place to the next.
Beginning in 1967, models were sometimes noted as "natural" models with no explanation of what that meant. (Only a year or two prior to that, Mizer can be noted as condemning and warning against buying fully nude material.) Briefly models were illustrated with obvious photo editing to keep the "natural" features hidden and their film descriptions might use the word natural even though the pictures were edited. All performers had their privates covered in Physique Pictorial until January 1969 after which they were called "natural" posing but the Bulletins showed dicks at the end of 1967.
At first, films were sold in both 8mm and 16mm black and white. The February 1968 Bulletin brought color to the newly exposed willies. All films were filmed in 16mm but after a while sold only in 8mm. Since it took extra effort to reduce to 8mm by 1970 Mizer was listing some, and later all, as special order meaning that he wouldn't create the 8mm until the film was requested and then the price was much higher than normal. If special order films became popular he would sell them at the normal price and then add them to the catalog of available titles. Presumably some films never made it to 8mm. All AMG films are hard to find and some (besides the ones stolen from Mizer) may not even exist any more.
Mizer made films far in advance of releasing them, sometimes speaking in the mid 60s of films to be released in the 70s. The big stash of films became a liability when their intended release dates occurred after the introduction of fully naked models in 1968 at which point the posing strap films held in reserve would become unmarketable. There may have been a number of films shot, named and planned that never made it into the U.S. mail.
