In addition to Dollens' cover art, there are interior illustrations by Neil Austin, Lin Carter, "Cindy", Pat Patterson, and Dan Adkins. Smith's memorable science fiction fanzine, originated by Norman "Gus" Willmorth under the earlier names and edited by him through November 1949, was long a compendium of SF book reviews and ads, and still is here; but, by this time, there were also non-fiction contributions by some of the better-known names in Sci-fi, and the page count was a bit higher. Herein, in addition to the standard fare, are "SFA: The First Ten Years", Robert Silverberg's detailed history of this fanzine; "H.P. Lovecraft: The Books", the second part (of 3) of Lin Carter's study of books mentioned by H.P. Lovecraft in his works; "Worst Foot Forward" by Robert Bloch,a criticism of the adverse effect (a "crash" in sci-fi, retrospectively non-existent, really) he then felt that bandwagon-ism had recently had on Science Fiction; and a collector-valuable historical chart of the fanzine, by issue and editor.
