you'll take care of that. You're off to a good start at any rate. JAMES V. TAURASI--- Your first issue of FANTASY DIGEST arrived last week and let me tell you it's a honey. I liked it a lot. The interior illustrations were the best I've seen in any fan mag. Marconette did a swell job also of the cover. Suggestions. Drop fiction and the poems and lets have only articles. Publish the mag monthly; more pages. THat's all. (As you have seen by now I have complied with your last two suggestions. Hereafter, every issue will contain about 33 pages and come out around the first of the month. Re your first suggestion; Unless a large demand for their removal is recieved, we will continue to publish fiction and verse. Readers; Write in & give us your opinion on this subject.) DALE HART---FANTASY DIGEST was a pleasant surprise since I didn't expect very much. Wally surely turned out like a fine cover--unique and colorful. The poem I liked for its thought and bizarreness. Didn't care much for Taurasi's story, but the illustrations were swell, more pics by Maskwicz, pliz! Moskowitz had a good article with an excellent title. (Here I pass over Hart.) Osheroff quite interesting. Bahr O.K Van Houten only fair; his sayings often contain ideas peculiar only to him, and are offensiv thereby **** In view of everything, my judgment of FD is: good. In closing, I wish FD every success and hope it gets support. ALEXANDER KRAWJEWSKI--- Received the first copy of FANTASY DIGEST. I thought it was fairly good for a first issue. The cover was very well drawn and colorful. Keep Marconette as your cover artist. Those illustrations by Maskwicz were excellent! They were better than some of the work found in most pro mags. The poem struck me as the thing in the issue. Lets have another one by Roberts. Next came "Lest We Forget", an excellent revue. These were the only "good" items. The others were only passingly fair. I especially didn't care for Van Houten and Bahr. Enclosed find by subscription for the next
