9 Regular Feature THE FANTASY BOOKSHELF Now on the newsstands is the first issue of the Avon Fantasy Reader, the first new American prozine since the war. Modeled in format after Rex Stout's Mystery Magazine, the mag is edited by Donald A. Wollheim, and represents a stellar lineup of reprint fantasy and stf. It costs 35¢ per copy and contains 130 pages. The inclusion of A. Merritt's "Woman of the Wood" in AFR may be the reason for the current report that Avon will soon issue a Merritt short-story collection titled The Woman of the Wood. Avon, incidentally, tells us that the following Merritt paperback editions are still available from them: The Ship of Ishtar, Burn, Witch, Burn, Dwellers in the Mirage, Seven Footprints to Satan. And last time we heard, Street & Smith still had all of the 1946 ASFs in stock, as well as all of 1945, except Mar. and Oct. Arkham House continues to put out excellent material. This Mortal Coil, a collection of nine shorts and novelettes by Lady Cynthia Asquith, is just out ($3.00) in a finely printed, handsome edition, and Dark of the Moon, a comprehensive anthology of fantasy poetry edited by Derleth will follow shortly. If you are not on Arkham's mailing list, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Arkham House, Sauk City, Wis., and ask for their most recent book bulletin. Two recent additions to my magazine files are the new promag ventures from across the Pond, New Worlds and Outlands. The first, received promptly upon subbing through Ackerman ($3.50 per year), failed to please; most of the tales were rather trite. Outlands—obtainable from Outlands Publications, 16, Rockville Road, Liverpool 14, England by sending an international Money Order for $1-1/4 —is a cross between a stf and a fantasy magazine, containing a selection of off-trail stuff similar to that which was featured in the old Astonishing Stories. Either you like it or you don't -- R. L. S. $$$$ ATTENTION $$$$ To whom and for what should money be paid, except for useful human work? (Charity, gifts, money-presents to helpless dependents like minors, aged, sick, will not be considered here as "payments".) $1.00 in cash will be promptly paid for every reasonable item you can mention.
