fanta-notes By The Editor We did a considerable amount of experimenting with the mimeograph before attempting to run off any copies of this issue; hence the legible duplication. Quite a few readers evidently do not favor the change to mimeography, but we worked extra hard to make a neat, pleasing issue, and hope that we have not lost any "atmosphere". You may have noticed the different colors by this time; we hope to have more soon, but won't guarantee anything! Mimeographing in colors is far more difficult and costly than multi-colored hekto work. Missing from this issue, unfortunately, is the well-liked column, FANTASIPS. Due to a lack of time on the part of Donn Brazier, it is doubtful whether it will be continued, however, we are hoping to have it back in #4. In case it has slipped your mind, we might remind you that the Denver World Science Fiction Convention is now approximately two months off. You'd better begin making preparations, if you haven't already. And if you haven't a copy of The Denventioneer, you're missing a dandy collector's item. It's only 15c from 1258 Race Street, Denver, Colorado. We'll be seeing you July 4, 5, and 6! In 1937 Morris Dollens turned The Science Fiction Collector over to John V. Baltadonis after publishing 13 issues. After that he, for various reasons dropped out of active fandom. Well, he's back again, and we are presenting some of his excellent art-work. What do you think of his symbolical cover illustrations? Tom Wright's frontispiece depicts a grimy, despondent man walking away from the wreckage of a spaceship which failed to work. Bob Jones also has more of his capable work in this issue. A regular back cover illustration has been requested by quite a few, and beginning with this number it will be a regular feature. Futurian War Digest No. 7 has arrived, and we think it deserves a plug here. It comes from J. Michael Rosenblum, 4 Grange Terrace, Chapeltown, Leeds 7, England, and has 16 pages; six pages of Futurian War Digest proper stapled together with other individual mags contributed by British fans. There are some very good illustrations by Turner and Williams. Oh yes, the entire mag is nicely reproduced on slick paper. By the by, we would like to add our protest here against Misko's unfair attack on certain British fans in the current Fanfare, which seems nothing short of asinine. Our apologies for the lateness in publication of this issue. As a result, several items are slightly outdated, especially portions of the Hams and Pros column. The next issue will be out in time to be distributed at the Denvention. Subscribers who are not there will receive their copies shortly after the Convention. All ads, contributions, etc. must be in not later than June 15.
