table odds in a galactic war is a little too much for me. Assumption Unjustified while being a rehash of an old theme was so interestingly done that I raised it second to the serial. Also, it was nice to run across a story that didn't mention war or conflict. False Dawn, while being very well done, left me a little cold, probably because I couldn't swallow some of Chandler's theories. Alien was entertaining at least. To Still the Drums was good but I didn't care for the ending. It seems to me that we've been getting too many war stories lately and I'm glad to see one of Simak's 'City' series coming up next issue. The art work has improved some but could stand still more improvement. Paul is still my favorite even though he doesn't seem to be illustrating anymore. I had been wondering what Nat Schachner had been doing lately since we hadn't heard from him in Astounding for some time, but I noticed that he has written a book about Alexander Hamilton, so I guess that took all his time for the last few years. It should be a book worth reading. Bibliophiles: please note: The New Collectors Group that is publishing two new books: each carrying a hitherto unpublished story by the late great A. Merritt announces that the first book, "The Fox Woman" will be ready for distribution by December 1. Each book also contains a new story by Hannes Bok. The books are $3 each from The New Collectors Group 116 West 109th New York 25, New York.
