BUG EYED MONTERS FOR BRITISHERS (Continued.) In Canada, the situation is better off you, since there are now two Canadian weird professional magazines which do not circulates in this country, and are extremely rare here. You probably never evan heard of them, since they haven't had much publicity, but they exist. One has seen a half-dozen or more issues; the other is in its first. Now for specific addresses. First of all, in Canada, write to Leslie A.Croutch, Box 121, Parry Soun, Ontario. He does all his reading by trading, keeps a good-sized stock of American and foreign publications on hand for trading and has more coming in at all times. Don't send him anything before writing, though. In Australia, I recommend Bert Castellari, 10a Sully Street, Randwick, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. In England; J. Michael Rosenblum, 4 Grange Terrace, Chapeltown, Leeds 7, England. In the event that this article produces a lot of trading intentions and these gentlemen are swamped with more such business than they can handle, they'll refer you to others, so don't hesitate on that account. Rosenblum, incidentally, will accept 75c worth of American prozines, any recent issues, for a year's subscription to his FUTURIAN WAR DIGEST, which appears monthly with up to a half-dozen other magazines sent along with it; from twelve to 24 or even more pages in all. (And to fanzine editors: Douglas W. L. Webster wants to trade with any American fanzine; he's planning to publish one of his own, but will also send books or magazines. Write him at: Idlewild, Fountainhall Road, Aberdeen, Scotland.) It's safe to send Rosenblum a package of stuff when writing; to the others, better establish contact first. A few instructions about mailing might not be amiss. Postage isn't high: 3 to 5 cents per magazine, I've found, depending on the quantity sent. Wrap them securely, but don't seal. Heavy brown paper around them, tied with tough twine, is best. Mark plainly on the outside "MAGAZINES", and check at the post office for the amount of postage required. As far as I know, there is no limite on the weight of magazines which may be sent. ((There is, Harry. If your magazines weigh more than 41b 6oz they must be sent via parcel post, with an affidavit, etc.)) But -- don't send two identical magazines in one parcel; it's not allowed. If you have reason to mail two copies of a single magazine, send on and wait a few days before sending the other. Then there's always the risk of sinking when mail to England or Australia, but that shouldn't worry you much. I've suffered very little loss, in two years of war; as far as I know, only three magazines I have mailed went down. The important thing to remember is that now is the best time to start swapping. You'll help someone to find a lot of pleasure, and help yourself to add to your collection. So go to it. -------------------------------------------- (((We, the editors of FAN-ATIC, wish to heartily second Harry's article. We were one of the few who were encouraged to trade by this editorial in SPACEWAYS. We have had more pleasure out of a couple of books that Mike Rosenblum sent us than any of the American ones that we've read. Therefore we urge to follow HW's lead.))) *********** If the word "EXPIRED" appears to the left, then a very excellent guess would be that your subscription has done just that. And, naturally, we've no objections at all to receiving a letter from you enclosing some cccccc. Fany sells for 5c, 6 fro 25c. We'll willingly accept coin, 1 1/2 or 3 c stamps, money order, or check (made out to Charles Beling.). Hurry up now. If there is a check to the left, then this is a sample copy. It would be very polite if we received a letter from you enclosing a subscription; yes, very polite. The rates are just 6 lines above this. See them there, pal?
