_"Not One Poor Story Yet"_

Dear Editor:

I agree with you that reprints should absolutely be kept out
of your magazine. I admit that there are many stories of
unusual merit among the reprints but I favor new and fresher
stories.

In your last issue (June) I consider "The Moon Master" as
being the best story, closely followed by "Out of the
Dreadful Depths." "The Cavern World" came next, followed by
"Giants of the Ray," "Brigands of the Moon" and "Murder
Madness."

I have not found one poor story in your magazine yet, and
never expect to.

I, for one, favor a larger sized magazine with a five cent
increase in price, or, at least, if the magazine must remain
small, I would like to see a quarterly out on the third
Thursday every three months.

I am extremely pleased to see that an interplanetary story
by R. F. Starzl will appear in your next issue. Please have
more of his stories if possible.--Forrest James Ackerman,
530 Staples Ave., San Francisco, Calif.

_Likes Present Size_

Dear Editor:

Best stories in the last two issues: C. D. Willard's "Out of
the Dreadful Depths" (Excellent); Chas. W. Diffin's "The
Moon Master" (Very Good); Sewell P. Wright's "Forgotten
Planet" (Fairly Good).

I am a new reader, but interested in these kinds of
stories. I am pleased to see that your readers criticize
freely. A story that will please one reader will not
interest another, perhaps, and it may not be the fault of
the author's ability so much as that he doesn't like that
type of story.

"Out of the Dreadful Depths," by C. Willard is the best
story I've read for some time. I could not see a single way
it could be improved. "The Moon Master," by Chas. Diffin was
just as good but I didn't like the ending so well. I
certainly hope Mr. Diffin will write more stories like it,
especially using his same three leading characters. "The
Forgotten Planet," by Mr. Wright, was well written and
pretty good in spite of the fact that I don't like that type
of story so well.

"Murder Madness," by Murray Leinster was well written and
the characters interesting and real but I didn't like his
subject. I hope for
