h time for me to write. It
certainly grows better with every new issue.

I think that the ten best stories published during 1930 were
(not in order of merit): "Brigands of the Moon," "Vandals of
the Stars," "The Atom Smasher," "The Moon Master," "Earth,
the Marauder," "The Planet of Dread," "Silver Dome," "The
Second Satellite," "Jetta of the Lowlands" and "The Pirate
Planet."

Your ten best authors are: Harl Vincent, Ray Cummings,
Charles W. Diffin, Victor Rousseau, Capt. S. P. Meek, Murray
Leinster, Arthur J. Burks, R. F. Starzl, Sewell P. Wright
and Edmond Hamilton.

The Commander Hanson stories by S. P. Wright are great.
Let's have lots more of them.

And now about reprints. I cast my vote like many other
readers in favor of them. Many Readers, in fact over half,
are new Readers of Science Fiction. They, like myself, have
not read the great masterpieces such as "The Time Machine,"
"The Moon Pool" and countless other stories. Now, why not
reprint some of them and give us a chance to read them? A
few Readers who have read them before do not want them
reprinted because they do not want anybody else to read
them.

A brickbat: Why not cut the edges of the magazine smooth? It
would be much easier to handle.

A bouquet: You have a fine magazine. Keep up the good stuff.
My criticism is exhausted, so good-by until next

_Two Dimensions Off?_

Dear Editor:

It was just by accident that I came across your magazine,
and I have read every issue since.

In the January number there is one story that I don't like,
"The Fifth Dimension Catapult." As far as the story is
concerned it is very good, but Professor Denham was not
marooned in the fifth dimension. If you read the story you
will find that Professor Denham was marooned on a three
dimensional world. That is all I can make out.

Astounding Stories is the best Science Fiction magazine I
have ever read, and I shall keep on reading it.

Keep up the good cover illustrations.--Richard Meindle, R.

_To the Colors!_

Dear Editor:

Being a passionate admirer of Dr. Breuer and his writings, I
cannot permit the contumelious, unfounded aggression of one
