SHANGRI-L'AFFAIRES.....2 THE READER REEKS Well, our appeal for comments in the last issue resulted in literally scores of postal cards, letters, telegrams, cablegrams, spaceograms, and gram-crackers. We are overshelmed at this unprecedented display of loyalty to dear old Shaggy Affairs. And here are a few of the more notable missives received at the editorial desk.... Dear Editor: Having received the latest issue of "Shangri-L'Affaires" I shall proceed to give yo editor my comments. First, I think the club is doing a great thing in putting out a bulletin of this size at no cost to the reader. It's too good to be true. ((You're telling us!)) I like the movie reviews the best of all; those of "The Cat People" and "I Married a Witch" were good. How about reviewing a book of the fantasy, or science-fiction nature? --Raymond Grumbo, St. Vincent, Minn. -------- VArious reports from several sources indicate that the MFS Bulletin is now defunct., If such is the case, that makes Shangri-L'Affaires the only local fanewzine left. The item "Dark Enigma" in this issue is a trifle outdated since Russell's arrival in L.A; but it still applies in some cases. ----------- Dear Gents: ((Another misinformed individual)) How good are my chances of receiving a copy of your mag whenever it comes out? ((Pretty good, I'd say. A copy is on its way to you as we write this.)) I'm a great fan of science-fiction (I'm even thinking of writing some), but I'm sorely in need of joining a club. Our town's too small for such a thing. ((Ah, yes. Well, work hard Andy, old boy; be persevering, and someday you'll be able to come to L.A. to see the LASFS and be disillusioned horribly.)) Andy Anderson. P.O. Box 533, Pismo Beach, California ------- Please do write us some more lovely letters, dear readers. Bulky packages, however, will be consigned to the bathtub.------- Dear Bronson: Just a note to let you know that I received Shangri-L'aff,. Thanks for sending it. Thanks for sending it. I like the style in which it's written and the interesting reviews. The mimeoing is darn good, too. Yes, we want the Fantasy Critic! ((Our roving reporter stationed in Minneapolis, reports the following: "I cornered Mr. Sam Russell the other day behind a stack of books in the Public Library and interviewed him. When I hinted as to the Fantasy Critic, he abruptly froze up, a strange gleam entering his eyes. Then, before I could question him further, he mumbled something like 'fifty-four forty, or fout!' and ran from the building.")) --Albert A. Betts 18 Wascana Rd., Toronto, Ontario, Canada ---------- March 13, 1943 Dear Gentlemen: ((He obviously doesn't know us)) Thank you for Shangri-L'Affaires. Incidentally, could you inform me whether or not there was a story in the Dec. 1929 Astounding by O. Zanchberry Tatch called "The THINGS?" ((Sorry, but we are unfamiliar with that particular issue, and do not have it in our files. O.Zanchberry Tatch is a well-known pseudonym of O. Edward Saari--we suggest that you get in touch with him.)) Mr. Tatch once slandered me, and I want to pan this story if I can read it. ((Tit for Tatch, eh?)) Thank you. Joe Smee. Fignewton, Texas ----------- Thanxamillion to all those who wrote in. Letters were received from Connerly, Warner, and Baldwin, also, but they arrived a bit too late to make the dummy. ---------
