ral times that
amount. You may count on me as a steady buyer of the
Astounding Stories as long as future issues are up to the
standard of the January issue.

Let me urge you that you give us the magazine on time every
month. I do not want to postpone my enjoyment of reading the
Unique Magazine on the first Thursday of each month.

Keep up the good work, and remember me as a contented
reader of your publication--T. J. Creaff, Jr. P. O. Box 734,

"_A Lallapaloozer_"!

Dear Editor:

Well, I've got to say something, and I might as well get it
over with. Your new magazine, Astounding Stories, is a
Lallapaloozer. I'm sorry I didn't get the first edition of
the new magazine, but I suppose you have some in stock and
I'm sending in my twenty cents in stamps to get one. I might
as well tell you how I found out about this new wonder.

One dreary, dreary night I walked into my newsdealer's store
to get a paper. While there I happened to glance upon the
bookstand--I saw the word Astounding and, my curiosity
aroused, I walked over to the stand and pulled the magazine
out. Imagine my surprise and delight when I found out what
it was! Well, I bought the book then and there without even
taking a look inside. When I got home I opened the book, and
the first story that caught my eye was "Old Crompton's
Secret," by Harl Vincent. I knew the story was good before I
read it, because I've read quite a few of Mr. Vincent's
novels and they were all excellent. The best stories I like
are interplanetary stories.

Why not have a "Reader Talks" in Astounding Stories, where
each reader gives his point of view on the stories in the
magazine? I know everyone would enjoy that, as it gives the
readers a chance to comment on stories and, also, see what
the other reader thinks about any story in particular.

I wish you success in your new enterprise and hope my first
edition of Astounding Stories arrives soon.--Joseph
Kankowsky, 35 Columbia Street, West Orange, New Jersey.
