Astounding Stories can't be beat; Its every issue is a treat. The finest authors of the age Appear upon Astounding's stage. There's Diffin, Cummings, Leinster, Burks; An all-star cast that's sure the works. Harl Vincent, Wells, and Starzl, too, Belong among this famous crew. Ed Hamilton and Vic Rousseau With Captain Meek complete the show. Together they are sure the best; That's why Astounding leads the rest! --Booth Cody, Bronx, N. Y. _Another "Two-Timer"_ Dear Editor: I have just finished reading the May issue of Astounding Stories for the second time. I have been reading Astounding Stories for over a year, and so far I can find only one thing wrong with it, and that is that it is not thick enough. In other words, you do not put enough stories in it. Some people who write in to the "Corner" say that the paper is rotten. I still have all my magazines, and the paper is as good as new. The paper is also good on the eyes, as it does not reflect light like a mirror, as some paper does. Some people say the pages are uneven and hard to turn. Like Mr. H. N. Snager, I become so interested in the stories I do not notice such trifles. Anybody who yells about the color of the cover, the durability of the paper, is not very interested in Astounding Stories. Why don't you either print a full page picture at the beginning of each story or else keep the half page picture at the beginning and put another picture halfway through the story?--Wm. McCalvy, 1244 Beech St., St. Paul, Minn. _A Buttercup for Paul_ Dear Editor: Congratulations! Astounding Stories has scored again! Not satisfied with illustrations by the mighty Wesso only, you have secured a drawing by the equally mighty Paul! May we see many more by him?--Thomas L. Kratzer, 3595 Tullamore Rd., Cleveland Heights, Ohio. _Nerves Now Better?_ Dear Editor: In Gould you have a fine illustrator; in Wesso a better one, but as I skip the page on which the story, a truly remarkable one by R. F. Starzl, "The Earthman's Burden" is on, my eye is caught by--yes! a drawing by Paul, good old reliable Mr. Paul, the king of Science Fiction illustrators. Now that you have him on your artist's staff I wouldn't feel at all bad seeing a painting of his on the cover. The June issue was a dazzler. "Manape the Mighty" held me spellbound. The others were all excellent stories. The cover painting by Wesso was good, but I have already seen one of that sort in a previous issue. Why not give us more interplanetary illustrations of space ships and the like as in "Brigands of the Moon"?
