"_Now a Real Pest_"

Dear Editor:

I have recently been initiated into the reading of Science
Fiction, and as a result I am now a real pest to the
magazine vendor, from asking for the next copy of Astounding
Stories. I have just finished your February copy and words
can't express my enjoyment.

"The Tentacles from Below" is indeed a Science Fiction
masterpiece. I devour eagerly Captain S. P. Meek's stories
about Dr. Bird. As long as you keep Meek you can be assured
that I will purchase this magazine. "The Pirate Planet"
proved to be a story worthy to be kept as a reprint for
future issues. In fact, many of your stories are so good
that it is a shame that others can't enjoy them in future
issues of Astounding Stories.

Wesso is a great artist and I appreciate to the fullest
extent his remarkable pictures.

Yours for a continuation of your present success in editing
and publishing remarkable stories--Lester P. Lieber, 542

Dear Editor:

Although this is my first letter to "The Readers' Corner" of
your publication, I have nevertheless been a consistent
Reader of the magazine since its inception. Contrary to many
of your correspondents I have nothing to say against your
magazine or policy. I like its size, its artists and most of
its stories. I shall not bother to name those I do not like
because I do not believe that there is a magazine to be
found that can publish stories to suit all its Readers.

I enjoy the serials and your two-part novelettes since it
gives one something to look forward to each month. I enjoyed
"The Pirate Planet" by Charles W. Diffin so much I was sorry
to see it end, and I hope there will be more of his work in
the future. I am particularly glad to see such writers as
Captain S. P. Meek, Ray Cummings, Miles J. Breuer, Victor
Rousseau and Harl Vincent as regular contributors to your
pages, but there are also a number of other writers whom I
miss seeing in "our" mag. Of these are A. Hyatt-Verrill who
writes so well of the Incas, Otis Adelbert Kline who also
gives us excellent stories and Leslie F. Stone whose "
