te you upon the establishment of "The
Readers' Corner." I do not know which was the first issue of
your delightful magazine, but I have been buying it
regularly for quite a few months.

I may not be an experienced critic, but it can be easily
seen by anyone that this magazine is one of the best on
sale. I, for one, enjoy your stories more than any other
stories I have ever read.

I have just finished the second part of the four-part serial
entitled "Brigands of the Moon." I thing Ray Cummings is the
best author I have ever met up with in stories. The drawings
are fine, the print is excellent, but I think the paper
could be improved. But by no means change the size of your
little magazine. The size is just right.

In your April issue I read in "The Readers' Corner" about a
Science Correspondence Club. Believe me when I say I'm
sending immediately for an application blank. I think the
idea of this club is excellent.

Truly you have contributed a great gift to Science Fiction
readers in offering this magazine to the receptive
public.--Theodore L. Page, 2361 Los Angeles Ave.,

"_Don't Do It!_"

Dear Editor:

This afternoon I saw Astounding Stories for the first time
and immediately grabbed a copy, as I have read others of the
Clayton group, and moreover am a Science Fiction fan.

The newsstand has no back numbers, and I simply must have
the March 1930 issue, as I wish to read "Brigands of the
Moon," so here is 25c, in stamps to cover purchase price and
cost of mailing me a copy of that issue.

Have you a complete file since Vol. 1, No. 1? If so, what is
the cost including charges? I'm sorry that I missed this
magazine before, but you can rest assured that I'll miss no
more.

In the "Readers' Corner" I notice a call from Stephen Takacs
for a change in size. DON'T DO IT! The size and shape are O.
K., and to make it the awkward size of most magazines
(including two of the Science Fiction magazines that I am
now a confirmed reader of), would not improve it a bit.

You have two of my favorite authors in the April number; no,
I see it is three--Burks, Cummings and Meek. They are O. K.,
but don't forget a few others, such as Burroughs, Verrill,
Hamilton, Coblentz, Keller, Quinn, Williamson,
