tion were that even possible, but there is now no single loop--hole available for getting money from here to the States.
   However, to deal with the mag itself. The great point is its freshness (not your U.S. slang type). The atmosphere clinging to its pages which is surely a tonic to the most jaded fan. Its very imperfections, (& there are some) only contribute to the effect & it has even pushed me----as cynical & hard-boiled about amateur publications as they make 'em--into betraying the sort of enthusiasm as this letter portrays. Your art work, page headings, & covers are particularly praiseworthy as being practically unique. As to contents, you keep up "Bright, Stuff By Children", "Among The Hams & Pros" & DPUPCPI. The letters seem to take up too much space--a little editing would be helpful, tho no doubt those who have seen their names in print will be satisfied. The rest is good varied meat for fans of the not so sophisticated type which is now so prevalent, in other mags. Only suggestion, do scrape up some book reviews. I'd offer to do some for you I'm doing enough in that direction with SPACEWAYS' column and my own publication. Besides an American would be preferable, and if I ever manage some sparetime a commodity now at a premium with yours truly, I will see if the muse strikes me and I can produce some sort of article for you. 
   Just before closing, may I echo Russ Hodgkins request for an article about yourselves, who, what, and why you are--and--how on earth do you do four color mimeoing?
                    Sciencerely,
                J. Michael Rosenblum

Best of luck to you
   And your dearest proclivity.
May you soon resume
   Full "FAN" activity.
