First Edition. -----------softcover, pulp magazine, a solid Good to very Good example, some age toning to paper as usually seen in these old pulp magazines, some chipping and short tears, ---this issue is the Canadian version of the AMERICAN May 1946 issue, this has the same cover art as the US issue, has a 20ø price instead of the US price of 15ø, has 112 pages vs. the US having 100 pages, ---the copyright page states " This magazine was produced in Canada, on Canadian paper, by Canadians." ---copyright also states that this is volume 38 # 4 but that volume and issue number was used on multiple issues ---the MARCH 1946 issue was #4 so tecnically this is # 5 but I'm just going to ignore volume and issue numbers and focus on month and year ---this issue drops The Haunted Stairs by Yetza Gillespie / Frozen Fear by Robert Bloch / Once There was an Elephant by R. H. Phelps / The Nixie's Pool by Leah Bodine Drake and adds The Dweller in Darkness by Derleth which appeared in the US November 1944 issue, any image directly beside this listing is the actual item and not a generic photo /// NOT SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// --- (size is approximate) ---covers might be trimmed, could be tears along the spine which might hav/ --- (size is approximate) ---covers might be trimmed, could be tears along the spine which might have been stabilized with a bit of glue, if you have any specific conditions which might be a concern please inquire before ordering ---if you wish to see individual scans please ask as I am limited to a certain number of scans with each listing ---many of these issues drop Taboos and Suerstitions /and/ Shape of Thrills to Come (which are listed in the contents on the ISFDB pages ) but there are occasions where these are present but not listed in the contents ---contents of the letters /and/ The Eyrie (if present) may also have changes but it is very difficult to check if so as well there may be some other changes but devoting the time and effort to page-by-page comparison is not practical ----advertisements might be different from the US issue (actually likely to be different but without checking page-by-page I cannot say for 100% sure Size: 6.75w x 9.75h Inches.

Book First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Henry Richard van Dongen (cover); Jack Gaughan, Cindy (Smith), Roy Hunt, Marvin Bryer, Dan Adkins (illustrator). First Edition. New York: Ronald L. Smith, 1956. First edition. September, 1956, whole number 50, issue number 16 under the name "Inside and Science Fiction Advertiser" (which is the last name for the famed sci-fi / fantasy fanzine, which was also published under the earlier names "Fantasy Advertiser" and "Science Fiction Advertiser", though the primary focus was always Science Fiction.) Ron Smith became the Editor/Publisher with the November, 1954 issue, which was also the first under this name. Octavo, stapled illustrated wraps, a whopping 72 pp. - thick, for this fanzine. Near Fine. Small chip top right front and another middle left back (see scans), and that's about it. Not much toning to the contents at all; bright, tight and nearly flawless. This September of 1956 issue is certainly one of the best produced in the entire sequence; Ron Smith was really feeling his oats at this time. Featured are "Weird Tales in Retrospect" by August Derleth, and part 3 of Lin Carter's astonishingly intensive research into the of actual books mentioned by H.P. Lovecraft in his stories. Bless him for the energy he spent. A plethora of great illustrations grace this issue, perhaps more than any other issue (of this or any sci-fi genre fanzine of the era, one would guess): H.R. Van Dongen's cover is joined by a bunch of Jack Gaughan illustrations, plus some by each of Dan Adkins, Cindy (Smith), and Marvin Bryer, plus cartoon illustrations by "Miller" and Dave Jenrette - all managed by Art Director Cindy Smith. Other articles include "Randall Garrett's Memo to E.A. Robinson", Larry T. Shaw's "The Baker Murder Case", Lin Carter's poem "The Return of the Fairies", Edmond Hamilton's "Time Traveling in Ohio", a Jonathan Hoag poem reprint, courtesy of George Wetzel, "To the Grand Canyon of the Ohio", William F. Nolan's "Dark Souls in Jeopardy" (a short modernistic three-act play), Garth Bentley's "Complaint of the EM", and illustrated humor by Dave Jenrette, "People to Avoid at a Convention", as a tri-fold foldout. Also, of course, the original meat of the fanzine, the book reviews, here handled mostly by Carter, Robert Silverberg, and Charles Freudenthal. Even some of the seemingly-now-out-of-date book ad from sellers. Pretty much the peak of fanzine-ism. Collector gold, and scarce as hen's teeth. Please review scans. l-pr1.
