but a genuine literary artist. His shortcomings are obvious--but in a work like the "Hart" the power of narrative and beauty of style dominate all else. And, by the way, my view of Keller as an author of real distinction has been strongly reinforced by my reading "The Devil and the Doctor" (Simon & Schuster, 1940) and several Keller novels as yet unpublished. On the basis of these and "The Sign of the Burning Hart". I feel sure that Keller will not only soon regain his prewar fame, but will win new esteem, as publication of his major works gives his readers proper perspective on his writings. - - - - Paul Spencer is the Chairman of the Book Publishing Committee of the National Fantasy Fan Federation. It is the aim of this organization to publish in limited editions books of special interest in the fantasy field, the first to be Dr. Keller's "The Sign of the Burning Hart". This off-trail story, never before published in English editions, will be printed in a very small edition with each copy autographed by Dr. Keller. The book is a non-profit project and will sell out almost entirely on advance orders. The price is $2.00 to non-members with special discount to NFFF members. Send your order to K. Martin Carlson, Secretary-Treasurer, 1028 Third Avenue South, Moorhead, Minnesota, or write for more details. FAMOUS SERIES I intend to publish Dr. Keller's "Tales from Cornwall" in the not too distant future, also his "Taine of San Francisco". I believe that these two titles will sell well and it is quite possible that I shall publish others of his stories, depending on the response to the first two. I feel that there are many of the present authors of Fantasy and Science Fiction who could write other types of meterial that would sell fairly well on the open market; for example: van Vogt, Hubbard, Keller, Heinlein, Leiber, Long. I have in my possession a ms of Dr. Keller's which I believe to be the best story he has written---but as yet I don't know what to do with it. Thomas P. Hadley Hadley Publishing Company TORCON SOCIETY The Sixth World Science Fiction Convention will be held in Toronto, Canada July 3-4-5, 1948. The Torcon Society is already in operation, but they need all the members they can get, so if you haven't joined the Society yet, send in just a dollar to pay for your dues, and let the boys that are doing the dirty work this year know you're right behind them. In return you will receive a numbered membership card, Torque, the official organ of the Torcon Society and any other ballyhoo before and after the event. Torque covers such items of interest as convention site, hotels, transportation, advertising, radio coverage, border regulations etc. Try to attend, but whether you think you can or not, sned that dollar in right away to the Chariman, Ned McKeown[[?]] 1398 Mount Pleasant Road Toronto, Ontario 17
