Palmer 4331 North 27th Street Milwaukee, Wisconsin CONGLAMITORIAL Drury D. Sharp's first story, "The Goddess of the Painted Priests," in the April, 1929 Weird, was the only one where his first name was spelled out.... Years ago, Weird would occasionally print the illustration with the installment of a story that had been the cover picture of the first installment the month before.... The last issue of Astounding had two illustrations by Marchionni--the only issue so honored, and a story named "The End of Time," the title of a story in Wonder two years ago.... Speaking about reprints! Believe it or not, the March, 1933 Amazing contained four of them! Only--these reprints were letters which appeared in the February number.... Among the oddities of science fiction should go down the March, 1933 Wonder Stories. This issue was the first Wonder not to contain an installment of a serial. The narrow band on the top of the cover, which had a motto for Wonder since April, 1930, for the first time in its history did not contain such but instead the name of a story in the mag.... The November, 1931 Astounding was the only issue to have a few words in quotations on the cover. They were: "And then his skeleton appeared!"... "Faster Than Light," by J. Harvey Haggard in the October, 1930 Wonder Stories was announced as "Beyond the Universe" in the previous issue.... If any person doubts that Forrest J. Ackerman is the most active science fiction fan--let him look into the Discussions of the April 1933 Amazing. Three of his letters appear. Yea, verily, "An issue without Forrest's letter is incomplete" ... more next month.... HOW TO COLLECT FANTASY FICTION by Julius Schwartz
