LETTERS From John Cockroft, 4 Winship Ave., San Anselmo, Calif. Dear Harold: Well I finally received FANTASY ASPECTS a couple of days ago and was quite pleased. It is indeed a pub worthy of the Cheney name. Say that cover format is really hot! I only wish that I thot of it first. Stell would be improved 100% with a cover like that. -- The double columning in the front of the ish is also most commendable. It would be nice to see the whole mag that way, but far be it from me to wish all that work on you ((your wish is our command. Ed.)) All of the material was good and definitely worth reprinting. But why did you run that prozine index? It seems superfluous when one considers the fact that Fantasy Foundation has issued one that is vastly more complete and a lot more informative. A reprint zine has a very high standard to live up to. There is no excuse for you not having the highest quality zine in fandom!! You have the pick of every crop. This is where editing shows up. Sincerely From A. Langley Searles, L9 E. 235th St., New York City 66 Dear H. C. This is a rather belated comment on the first issue of Fantasy Aspects, which arrived some time ago. You've really got something there! I thought that the idea of a fan magazine reprinting the best material from publications in the field was a good one before Fantasy Aspects appeared -- and now I'm sure of it. This NFFF periodical is definitely worthwhile, and probably comes nearest to replacing the late lamented Vampire. Especially valuable was John Nitka's volume index of s-f pros. The other articles were entertaining, varying in quality from readability to excellence. Sincerely From Bob Stein, 514 W. Vienna Ave., Milwaukee 12, Wis. Hello Harry: --- The zine is a good idea, except that many fans will be reading material for the second time. --- ----(Page 29)----
