_Again Reprints_
Dear Editor:
Although I am a reader of six Science Fiction magazines, I was more
than glad to see the latest one out, Astounding Stories. Because
the stories are all interesting. I consider Astounding Stories
superior to most of the Science Fiction periodicals on the
newsstands to-day.
My favorite stories are those of interplanetary voyages and other
worlds. My favorite authors are: Ray Cummings, A. Merritt, Victor
Rousseau, Murray Leinster, Arthur J. Burks and Harl Vincent. I hope
that you will soon have stories by Edmond Hamilton and David H.
Keller.
Now here is something I hope you will give some thought and
consideration. I noticed that many of the readers wrote in,
requesting reprints. I am one of those who would like to see you
publish some reprints, especially stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs,
A. Merritt and Ray Cummings. These authors have written many
masterpieces of Science Fiction. It is very difficult, if not
impossible, for a person to get these stories. They could be made
available easily if Astounding Stories would reprint them.
Most of the readers who object to reprints do so because they would
hate to see a story by H. G. Wells or Jules Verne. I, myself, do
not like these authors as they are too dull. But if you have only
reprints by the three authors I mentioned and a few other popular
writers, I am sure all the readers would welcome them. At least you
could have a vote and see how they stand on reprints--Michael

_Likes_ "_The Readers' Corner_"
Dear Editor:
Your "The Readers' Corner" interests me very much. It surely does
show how your magazine pleases its readers. You cannot get too much
science in your stories to suit me. Chemistry and physics more than
anything else.
I surely enjoyed reading "Mad Music" and "The Thief of Time." I
don't like long stories. They are too interesting to have to wait a
month for the next part.
I hope that your magazine continues to have as "astounding" stories
as it has in the past.--Vern L. Enrich, R. F. D. 1, Casey,

Dear Editor:
One day coming home from school I saw your magazine. That night I
bought it and have since been an ardent
