FANFARE 15 DOINGS OF THE STRANGERS (cont.) Squibs...Member Singleton is planning a fantasy poetry mag, and is looking for good material...Member Chauvenet is now on a bicycle trip which will cover all the northeastern states as far as Chicago, in the West, and Virginia in the South where he will reside for the summer. He will stop in on practically every fan of note between here and there, so be on the lookout for the Strangers' messenger of good will on the red bicycle. The third issue of his fine little hectoed publication, DETOURS, will be out in August from Tallwood Plantations, Esmont, Virginia...LRC wrote a mirror to Voice of the Imagi-nation, which specializes in printing wacky letters just as they are written, but this one was too much for even the 'never-take-a-dare' coeds of VOM...We are rather proud of our cover on #3 Polaris which editor Paul Freehafer says has received a lot of favorable comment...which is all. -x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- AD speaking of pleasures... you might try the anniversary issue of Cosmic Tales. Its neatness will Astound you. Its material will be a Wonder to you. 28 pages of material equal to the 40 pages of large type. Material by Lovecraft -- Mrs. Gnaedinger, editor of FFM -- Speer -- Lowndes -- Moskowitz -- and a host of others. Amazingly enough, the price is only 10c and a quarter for three issues. Try it! send your subscription to: Richard Crain, 1734 Willow Ave., Weehawken, New Jersey -x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- LOOKING OVER THE FANMAGS by Art Widner Jr. DETOURS -- Louis Russell Chauvenet, Tallwood Plantation, Esmont, Virginia 5c or 6 for 25c. This second issue, while inexactly the same vein as the first, is a great improvement. Still hektoed, but much larger, and now with three colors! Beautiful! The ramblings are highly interesting and the departments show many a pretentious publication. The quiz is for experts only. The unique ideas for subscription expiration notice, reader comment, and fanmag reviews are masterpieces of novel originality. Be sure to get the third copy, due August 15th, as it will contain a report of Chauvenet's bicycle trip, which I believe will be a highlight of the fan year, surpassed only by the coming Chicon... THE FURTURIAN -- J. M. Rosenblum, 4 Grange Terrece, Chapeltown, Leeds 7, England. 3d., or 4 issues for 25c in the USA. This mag is the perfect size; 9 by 7, or just about half of the elongated FANTASY DIGEST. Material all by English fans except for Van Houten. This is the Spring 1940 issue, and the latest, I believe. All good material, the best being Rathbone's poem and Arguementative, the readers' department.
