care for it and can understand it, as I can simply skip over
it, taking what I can grasp and letting the rest go. It
doesn't spoil the story for me.

I have no criticism, constructive or otherwise, to make. I
enjoy the stories with some romance involved, and enjoy
those without equally well. My own preference would be that
you continue using rough paper and your present mechanical
construction, so that more money will be available to pay
for the stories. Few of us keep the magazines anyway, so
there isn't so much need for expensive paper. I like
interplanetary stories best, I think; but I was intensely
interested in "Beyond the Vanishing Point," "Manape the
Mighty" and "Holocaust." All different, but all very good. I
can't remember one I did not like.

My work requires much study and concentration. I have
recommended to several men who do similar mental work that
they follow my plan of securing delightful relaxation by
losing themselves in another world through Science Fiction
magazines. Most of them find it as restful as I
do.--Berenice M. Harrison, Angola, Ind.

_Likes R. F. Starzl_

Dear Editor:

It has been my purpose to write to you before, but due to an
extraordinary amount of detail work which I have had to do,
I have been unable to.

I have read your marvelous magazine ever since the first
issue came into my hands, and I can honestly say that there
is no other book on the market which has held my attention
as long as yours has. I congratulate you on your very
interesting magazine.

Arthur J. Burks, in his latest story, has conceived an
entirely new type of story, and I, for one, think it very
interesting. Plenty of science for the laymen and enough
interest for the others.

I liked R. F. Starzl's story, "The Earthman's Burden," very
much, and I hope you will have more by this author soon. His
stories are perfect. Starzl is a deep thinker, and I am
right here to say that there is a man who understands men
and men's longings and inhibitions.--A. W. Gowing, 17
