re not to learn
science.

I have been reading Astounding Stories since the first
issue, and I have enjoyed every story. I read several
Science Fiction magazines but yours is the best.--Stephen L.

_Shorter and Sweeter_

Dear Editor:

The only good things about Astounding Stories are as
follows:

The cover design, the stories, the size of the magazine, the
illustrations in the magazine and the Authors.--John

_Sequels Requested_

Dear Editor:

I was out of reading matter so I bought the August issue of
Astounding Stories, and it was so good that I have been
buying it ever since. The only things I don't like about the
magazine are the quality of the paper, which I think could
be improved, and the uneven pages. The other Science Fiction
magazine that I read has its pages even.

Astounding Stories has a much better type of stories than
the other magazine. There are only a few stories I have seen
in your magazine which do not belong there. They are: "A
Problem in Communication," which is not so much fiction and
does not have much of a plot, and "The Ape-men of Xloti,"
which was very well written and very interesting, but did
not have enough science in it.

I would like to see sequels to the following stories:
"Marooned Under the Sea," "Beyond the Vanishing Point,"
"Monsters of Mars," telling about another effort of the
crocodile-men to conquer Earth, "The Gray Plague," telling
of another attack by the Venusians, and, most of all,
"Vagabonds of Space." I would like to see a story about
their further adventures about every three months, just as I
see the stories about Commander Hanson.

I wish the best of luck for Astounding Stories.--Bill
Bailey, 1404 Wightman St., Pittsburgh, Pa.

_Come Again_

Dear Editor:

Although I have been an interested Reader of Astounding
Stories since its inception, this is the first time that I
have written; but "our" magazine has been so good lately
that I just had to write and compliment you on your good
work.

There are just two criticisms I have of Astounding Stories.
The first is that the binding sometimes comes off; the
second is the rough edges. I join with many
