The Phantagraph Fragments of Fantasy VOL. 6 SEPTEMBER 1937---Ghour 3 A. Gh. No. 5 Phantagraphy When we announced the commercial discontinuance of The Phantagraph several months ago, quite a number of people expressed regret at its "passing". They misinterpreted our meaning. We are still going to publish our little paper regularly. But we are not obligating ourselves with subscriptions. It is published entirely for the fun of doing so and with no other aim in mind. This new amateur status gives us complete freedom to do as we wish. From now on The Phantagraph will adhere to no set standard of content. We may be irresponsible and kidding one month and deadly serious the next. We may publish only one long article, or a half dozen short squibs. We may editorialize and we may not. That's the real beauty of amateur publishing, we print what we please. Amateurs will be interested in the following excerpt from a letter by Farnsworth Wright, Editor of WEIRD TALES:---"You may be interested to know that I once belonged to both the National Amateur Press Association and the United during my last year in grammar school and for three years when I was a student in Lowell High School, San Francisco. I published a little paper (tritely enough) THE LAUREL. I wrote it all myself set the type, and printed it on the hand press of a friend of mine. All my copies of it, and the magazines with which I exchanged, were lost in the earthquake and fire, I am sorry to say." --DAW
