20 AMATEUR CORRESPONDENT ent which you sent me recently. I read it with great interest; it was my first contact with a 'fan magazine', so-called---and, yea and verily, 'twas good! So herewith my 'two bits', and please keep it coming.... A word as to the contents of Howard Phillips Lovecraft was easily the best feature therein. I hope yo see more articles of this nature in future issues. One criticism, though: Why Hobbyana? It seems out of place in a magazine of this sort." * * * Claire P. Beck, of Lakeport, Calif., comments on the magazine in general, and also includes the following remarks, which we think will interest our readers: "Clark Ashton Smith, of Auburn, Calif., has devoted a great deal of his time to the creation of weird sculptures and carving, from numerous varieties of mineral and rock. Recently, it was announced that replicas in plaster, handpainted and varnished, had been made of a number of his highly fantastic creations. Particulars can probably be obtained from him. The pieces sell for a few cents each." * * * Paul Morton, of Los Angeles, Calif., seems well contented with the magazine. He writes: "Though I've read only one issue of your magazine, that for May-June, I think it one of the best I've ever seen. Your format is flawless and distinguished. While you publish a magazine that features fantasy, you are pleasingly conservative, one of the best touches being Hobbyana..., In your latest issue I believe I prefer Price's little sketch above everything else. I eagerly anticipate your next issue."
