ET CETERA LEFT*OVERS FROM OUR OTHER DEPARMENTS To start this month's Et Cetera is the news that Clame P. Beck, publisher of SFCritic, is now working on a reprint book of the "Hammer and Tongs" departments-essays from early issues of the Critic. Size is about 4x6", printed on very good paper, Beck will soon start on another book---reprints from Clark Ashton Smith's Star Treader & Other Poems. The latter will be the larger of the two books. By the looks of advance proofs we have it seems that they will be printed better than the Critic itself...The stf index we announced recently has been postponed for a little while because of poor response to our advertisement. More information on this later... -------------------------- Interplanetaryarns---stories of science and the future---illustrations be a number of artists---all will be featured in the first issue of SCIENCE ADVENTURE STORIES, the illustrated science-fiction story magazine. Order your copy now--15c cash preferred. ------------------------- "The Science Fiction Fan" is now hektographed--about 30 pages, 5x8", with illustrations in colors by Morris Dellens; "Fanfarade", a news column by Donald A. Wollheim; and articles and departments. First hektographed issue will be out soon---10c per copy, 3 issues for 25c. Olon F. Wiggins, Editor; Address: 2351 Welton Streey, Denver, Colorado **Advertisement -------------------------- X-RAYING THE EDITORS By John Chapman, Associate Editor of the Collector For the benefit of the science fiction fan, here are a few things to think about...Did you know that F. Orlin Tremaine not only edits Astounding, but also such publications as Cowboy Stories, Top Notch, Clues Detective, Detective Story, and Western Story Magazine? ...Here's another: Donald Wandrei's "Colossus Eternal" was originally a three-part serial, but Tremaine had it shortened to fit one issue...while Dr. E. E. Smith received at least something in the nature of $800 for "Skylark of Valeron," somebody is breezing it around that Doc was $45 to the good upon the acceptance of his first story, "Skylark of Space," which was longer than "Valeron"...I'll pass on the story that Festus Pragnell was not paid at all for "The Green Man of Graypec"....in case you're wondering, Howard Wandrei, Donald's brother, is not a Ph. D., as designated on his earlier stories under the pseudonym Howard Graham. The truth is that he submitted his first story under his correct name, but the editor tacked "Graham, Ph. D." on just to avoid confusion with Donald...They say that Warner Van Lorne is a well-known science-fiction fan---???? ...In every issue of Astounding containing a story by Chan Corbett, there has also been a story by Nat Schachner. Evidently Mr. Tremaine was over-crowded with his yarns so he delved into his bag of tricks to find a good pseudonym. Result: Nat Schachner is Chan Corbett, or vice-versa....More next time... --------------------------- Have you entered the letter-contest announced elsewhere in this issue of the Collector? It takes no ability--just ideas. If yours is one of the winners to be announced in the next issue of the Collector, you'll receive a handsome original illustration. --------------------------- PAGE 16
