Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Los Angeles: Roy Squires, 1952. Volume VI, No. 3, the November, 1952 issue of what had been the Fantasy Advertiser fanzine, titles now, for the first time in this issue, Science Fiction Advertiser. Cover by Morris Scott Dollens, who has another piece inside. Octavo, illustrated stap…led wraps, unpaginated, but 18 pp. + covers. Near Fine copy, with perimeter age toning, otherwise flawless. A high grade, very sharp, undamaged copy. Its content of ads, book lists, book reviews, plus some commentary by "the editor", that being Roy Squires by this time, remains essentially unchanged from its Fantasy Advertiser days. In this issue: Anthony More, "Hal Clement: A Science Fiction Style"; other reviews and discussions are uncredited, are presumably by Squires and other regulars. This issue is mostly ads for the books, however; it was presumably a busy time. A classic issue from a fanzine classic from the golden age of sci-fi, replete with ads, sale and auction notifications, publications notices, and more - all focused on science fiction, fantasy and horror, by intent, but mostly on Science Fiction by execution at this time. L-pr1. Morris Scott Dollens, Neil Austin (illustrator).
