The publishers were Fantasy House Inc., Mercury Publications and Mercury Press. Unlike other SF magazine of the period, there were almost no interior illustrations, thus leaving more room for stories.

Many issues were obtained by subscription (no labels), never read, and are thus fine. A couple have some spine damage, there is some cover creasing, small tears and scuffing, condition ranges from good to as new, with most being at least VG+ to near fine. Inquiries on condition, contents or requests for cover scans of individual volumes are welcomed.
