Astounding Stories of Super-Science September 1930
Various
Science fiction -- Periodicals; Science fiction, American -- Periodicals
My favorite stories are those of interplanetary voyages and other
worlds. My favorite authors are: Ray Cummings, A. Merritt, Victor
Rousseau, Murray Leinster, Arthur J. Burks and Harl Vincent. I hope
that you will soon have stories by Edmond Hamilton and David H.
Keller.
Now here is something I hope you will give some thought and
consideration. I noticed that many of the readers wrote in,
requesting reprints. I am one of those who would like to see you
publish some reprints, especially stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs,
A. Merritt and Ray Cummings. These authors have written many
masterpieces of Science Fiction. It is very difficult, if not
impossible, for a person to get these stories. They could be made
available easily if Astounding Stories would reprint them.
Most of the readers who object to reprints do so because they would
hate to see a story by H. G. Wells or Jules Verne. I, myself, do
not like these authors as they are too dull. But if you have only
reprints by the three authors I mentioned and a few other popular
writers, I am sure all the readers would welcome them. At least you
could have a vote and see how they stand on reprints--Michael
Fogaris, 157 Fourth St., Passaic, N. J.
_Likes_ "_The Readers' Corner_"
Dear Editor:
Your "The Readers' Corner" interests me very much. It surely does
show how your magazine pleases its readers. You cannot get too much
science in your stories to suit me. Chemistry and physics more than
anything else.
I surely enjoyed reading "Mad Music" and "The Thief of Time." I
don't like long stories. They are too interesting to have to wait a
month for the next part.
I hope that your magazine continues to have as "astounding" stories
as it has in the past.--Vern L. Enrich, R. F. D. 1, Casey,
Illinois.
_From Master Weiner_
Dear Editor:
One day coming home from school I saw your magazine. That night I
bought it and have since been an ardent reader.
But why not give us a change? I prefer stories of the Sargasso Sea,
the Maelstrom, and about invasions of the Earth.--Milton Weiner,
age 12, 2430 Baker St., Baltimore Maryland.
_High Praise_
Dear Editor:
Enclosed you will find twenty cents in stamps for the first copy of
Astounding Stories.
I have just finished the May issue of Astounding Stories and the
rating of the stories is: 1--"Brigands of the Moon"--Excellent!
2--"The Atom Smasher"--Marvelous! 3--"Murder Madness"--Perfect.
4--"Into the Ocean's Depths"--Good. 5--"The Jovian Jest"--Pretty
Good.
The cover design by H. Wesso is good. Don't lose him.
