every month, I think you'll change your mind.

Trimmed edges? First, more readers say no than yes. Second, they add to the expense or publishing, which would mean reducing somewhere else. Reducing the fine quality of the stories is certainly not wanted. Next, and last, trimmed edges wouldn't persuade one single reader more to pick up the book. The stories are what count. And we have the best book on the stands. Artists usually sign their illustrations. However, we'll think about credit lines in the future. Magarian does not paint covers. Finlay? We'll go to work on this matter right now. But as for circulation figures, who's kidding you? We rank among the nation's leaders!Ed.

"Recent stories . . . big time WRITERS"

Sirs:
In Amazing Stories the difference is found in the quality of the reading material, not necessarily the QUANTITY. A few months ago, I might not have been so outright in admitting such a factor—but recent stories — plus big time writers, prove to me—AMAZING STORIES IS THE TOPS.

I like immensely the quaint amusing stories by Robert Bloch, the thrilling adventuresome stories by Jep Powell, but ah—umph—give us more Miles J. Breuer. I like Westerns, and this type sorta got me entranced. In case you didn't know what I hinted at—it's THE SHERIFF OF THORIUM GULCH in the August issue. Please don't save such darn good yarns as this and keep us ignorant of their existence. Pull them out and give 'em to us. Gosh—I was spellbound by the whole thing.

As per DEATH RIDES AT NIGHT, viz Leroy Yerxa, it read something like a super-collosal story. Yerxa is a good story writer and more of his material should be given encor(e)agement. What's all this DRIVEL about trimmed edges? I thought the matter was settled. I for one, prefer untrimmed edges—as they afford a better "grip" and easier to turn. As it is, Amazing is trimmed to a rather close perfection, which is good enough in any man's language. Back cover illustrations seem to be improving. From the way it seems to me, many of the readers fail to realize the small number of mistakes Amazing Stories makes in its stories and articles, and thus they try to find mistakes and often as not prove themselves wrong and Amazing right. This is an enviable record of achievement Amazing should be proud of. Every magazine strives for perfection, but FEW ever obtain it. It is my firm belief of opinion, Amazing has achieved, in large measure, perfection of material, accuracy, and entertainment. My hat goes off to a splendid publication, that is run by a darn nice bunch of gents.

Thanks for all them kind words, pal!Ed.
