SPACEWAYS                   FROM THE CONTROL ROOM 6

The experiement that was tried last issue, of using 16-lb. mimeo paper, worked out all right. There doesn't seem to be a great de-al of difference in the opaqueness, and with the price of paper still ris-ing in leaps and bounds, every little saving helps. Further, it's possible that the lessened weight will pull this issue of [underlined] S down below the two-ounce weight and enable it to be mailed for a penny. If it's still too heavy, the thick covers will be sacrificed. If the weight can be reduced to below those fatal two ounces, it'll save ec-onomies of some other sort or return to a bi-monthly publishing schedule. And while [underlined] S watches its weight like any movie star, won't you try to help a little by suggesting that one or two of your friends try a copy?
Requests for back-issue prices have been arriv-ing. So, herewith another list. All copies are in perfect, un-read shape, of course, and in most cases very few copies remain. Volume 1: no.1, in its reprint edition (identical with the origin-al except for identifying reprint mark): 20c; no 6: 35c; no. 7: 50c. Vol. 2: no. 2: 25c; no. 4: 50c; no. 5: 25c; no. 6: 25c; no. 7: 25c. Vol. 3: nos. 3 and 6: 20 c each; nos. 4, 5, and 7: 15c each. Vol. 4: nos. 1 and 3: 10 c; no. 2: 25c.
Would any of you be willing to donate you copies of the Second Anniversary Issue of Spaceways? Almost all copies of it sent to England and Australia were sunk. As far as I know, only one fan in Eng-land and one is Australia received it safely; and the British recipient, sharing it with others by mailing it around, has lost all trace of his. If you aren't a particularly ardent collector and are willing to give up your copy of that is-sue, you'll be enabling lots of fans to see it, since the foreign-bound copies circulate all about. Most of the lost copies were bound for England, so if you're willing to give up yours, send it either to J. Michael Rosenblum, Four Grange Terrace, Chapeltown. Leeds, 7, England, or to me, depending on whether you want to to go to England or Australia. Postage is four and two cents, respectively. I have absolutely no copies left, the edition having sold out a few weeks after appearance, and so can't supply any myself. 
[Underlined] Spaceways still is in need of articles and poetry. The editorial last time brought in some, but more can be used. And while on the subject of articles: it's a good thing I wasn't specific about the "surprise" one last time, for it isn't here this time. If permission for its use is granted, it'll appear as soon as possible. If it can be used next time it will be. If it can't, a book review by Jack Speer, fiction by Nils Frome, poetry by Mark Reinsberg and Dan Gualterio, another section of "If I Werewolf", and other material by Les Croutch and John Gergen will try to jam their way in. As usual, though, nothing is guaranteed. But don't forget [underlined] S, the next time you do an article or a poem. No fiction yet, please. 
The title of Leonard Moffatt's article this issue was supplied by Moffatt himself. If you feel bitter about it contact him, not me. Too, Eric F. Rus-sell, by whom an article appears in this issue, isn't [underlined] the Eric F(rank). Russell, of England. This one comes from Australia, and I don't know what comes next in his middle name after the F. Don't forget to send in your ratiings!  HW
