Well, I think since I am one of the oldest readers of I shall at last write and get in my two cents worth.

I read the first issue of, ''I believe in 1925, and I have only missed one copy that I can remember, so believe me I have quite a collection of WT magazines. First off, I don't like the size of them now. The first issues were large and had much more reading than now, also I like the stories kept on the weird line. The heck with this Scientific reading! I say keep weird. Also what ever happened to the true experience department that used to be in, a department where folks could write their true experiences? That was a fine department, and I for one would like to have it back.'' ''Mrs. J. F. Post, West Asheville, N. C.''

The Golden Apples of the Sun by Ray Bradbury • A collection of Bradbury shorts which will certainly serve to keep him in the position to which he has been raised as one of the best imaginative writers of the day. His people are human and his ingenuity terrific. We are distinctly conscious of a trend toward the fantastic and supernatural in the fiction market—books as well as magazines, which is where come in. Bradbury is leader in that field; we are proud that many of his stories have appeared in our pages.

Worlds of Tomorrow. Stories selected and with a foreword by August Derleth • A brilliant anthology in which between Paul Anderson's "The Tinkler" and Lewis Padgett's "Line of Tomorrow" are gathered a diverting group of tales with a certain freshness of approach and originality of concept.

Space Service. An anthology edited by Andre Norton • who has emerged as an authority on teen-age science fiction. He has chosen stories by T. R. Cogswell, Gordon R. Dickson, Walt Sheldon, etc.

West of the Sun by Edgar Pangborn • Adventure on the planet Lucifer, eleven time years distant from Earth.
