I received your April issue and I think it is the best yet. I have
but one complaint to make, and that is your magazine seems to print
some good science stories, but also has some stories which do not
belong in a Science Fiction magazine. They might come under the
name of weird tales. Is your magazine devoted to pure 100 per cent.
Science Fiction? If so, I think you ought to leave out the ghost
stories.--Louis Wentzler, 1933 Woodbine St., Brooklyn, N. Y.
_From the Other Sex_
Dear Editor:
You'll be surprised to hear from a girl, as I notice only boys
wrote to praise your new magazine. I tried reading some of the
Science Fiction magazines my brother buys every month but I'd start
reading a story only to leave it unfinished. But your magazine is
different. When I picked it up to read it I thought I'd soon throw
it down and read something else, but the moment I started to read
one of the stories of your new magazine I read it to the finish. I
never read such vivid and exciting stories. Even my brother who
loves all kinds of Science Fiction magazines couldn't stop praising
your new magazine. He said Astounding Stories beats them all.
Some of our readers criticized your new magazine, and I haven't
anything but disagreement for them. Yet, who am I, to judge persons
who have read and know all about Science Fiction?
Will recommend your new magazine to all my friends.--Sue O'Bara,
13440 Barley Ave., Chicago, Illinois.
_January Issue Was First_
Dear Editor:
I have just finished reading the April issue of "our" magazine. Can
mere words describe my feelings? I am classing the stories as
follows: A--excellent; B--very good; C--good; D--passable; E--poor.
A--"Monsters of Moyen," "Vampires of Venus," "The Ray of Madness,"
"The Soul-Snatcher."
B--"The Man Who Was Dead."
C--None. D--None. E--None.
"Brigands of the Moon" is getting more and more interesting. Can
you please tell me which month's issue was the first one, as I
didn't procure the first two copies and should like to do so?--Eli
Meltzer, 1466 Coney Island Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y.
"_Eclipses All_"
Dear Editor:
Just as soon as your new magazine came out I espied it. It eclipsed
all the other magazines on the stand. As a cub magazine I couldn't
ask for more.
I am going to comment on your stories now because I know you want
me too, for I know you would like to know what sort of stories your
readers like.
