EFTY-NINE page 9 "Something over half a dozen adventurers have managed to get up to a height of a little over ten miles with ensuing death to three of them, and if stunt flights to one-twenty thousandth the distance of the moon have produced such meager results, it does not look well for future travel to the probably almost airless satellite with its extremes of temperature." --Discussions, Amazing Stories, May 1934 -o- "Central Australia once was a smiling, fertile land, but is now a dessert." --blurb for "The Inner Domain" (Collas), Amazing Stories, Oct. 1935 -o- "The word 'nuts' is rather a puzzle to the writer of these lines. He has encountered it several times lately and what it means he is not sure of." --Discussion, Amazing Stories, Oct. 1935 -o- "We have had several stories dealing with subterranean populations and the present writer gives us quite a vivid account of the life beneath the surface of the earth and of earthquakes and disturbances on the surface. The author certainly has a vivid imagination. Earthquakes are described bringing buildings to a very precarious angle." --blurb for "21931" (Keith), Amazing Stories, Feb. 1936 -o- "What you say about the Space Suit, is interesting. When a man can go to an elevation of twelve or fifteen thousand feet it might be very useful." --Discussions, Amazing Stories, Feb. 1936 -o- "We are the editors but the pabulum for the readers is supplied by our authors for the most part." --Discussions, Amazing Stories, Apr. 1936 -o- "We are always glad to have the publishing of a story by this author and we believe that our readers will thoroughly enjoy this first instalment telling of the work of a great inventor with a promise of interplanetary or even space travel in Part Two." --blurb for "Beyond the End of Space" (guess who?), Amazing Stories, Mar. 1933 -o- "It is curious that while you object to the reprint,"A Decent Into the Malestrom", you say it has been reprinted about fifteen times already. Does this not indicate at least fifteen Editors have agreed with us?" -Discussions, Amazing Stories, Aug. 1934 It's nice to know Poe's story is decent,even though a touch of sex seems somehow to have snuck in. -o- "This is a very interesting story of what might happen in the future to a high-speed rocket plane. A runaway horse is really a pretty serious thing in many cases, but he covers his mile at a mere fraction of the rate of a rocket plane, and this story tells us the adventures of some brave men who were rocketed off into space." --blurb for "Shot Into Space" (Nathanson), Amazing Stories, Aug. 1934 -o- "We know that this story will be very warmly received [It was!] by our readers." --blurb for "Blue Beam of Pestilence" (Binder), Amazing Stories, Dec. 1937 -o-
