CRITICS' REPORT: MARCH MAILING PAUL FREEHAFER, Official Critic H.C. Koenig, Associate Critic Mimeographed matter THE FANTASY AMATEUR V.5 N. 3 (see ed. note in this issue) Freehafer: Good, though so poorly mimeographed that I could not read part of it. Koenig: Poorly mimeographed. The membership list was a total loss. AGENDITE OF INWIT pp. 7-8 Freehafer: Better than last time. Koenig: Another single sheeter. Editor Lowndes could and should develop this into a real magazine. His articles are always worth reading. APOLOGIA! (#1) Freehafer: Even when EEE has nothing to say, he says it far more interestingly than most of us. Koenig: Old Man Evans apologizes in a breezy fashion for not having an entry in the Spring mailing. The apology was far too short but still quite acceptable. CALIFORNIA MERCURY #11-12 Freehafer: Sorry, Joe, but this is a waste of paper. Koenig: A single sheeter in spite of the fact that it represents two issues! Nothing to write home about. CENSORED V.1 N.3 Freehafer: Large magazines in the FAPA are definitely to be encouraged; but one of the mildest things that can be said about this publication is that it shows vast room for improvement. Koenig: Voluminous but mediocre. Contents spoiled, particularly the latter part, by extreme carelessness in proof reading, (if any). Editor Hurter could get out a fine magazine if he took more pains with his editing. F. F. F. #72-73 Freehafer: Very good, even though a widely circulated subscription magazine. Koenig: Getting one or two copies of a weekly magazine every three months is the height of something or other; even if one of them should be marked an FAPA issue. GUTETO V.1 N.4 Freehafer: At least there's a trace of fantasy evident in this one. But it still isn't legitimate FAPA material Koenig: I still insist that this magazine (or any other devoted to Esperanto) does not belong in a FAPA mailing. INSPIRATION (#1) Freehafer: An excellent little magazine. I suppose one might consider this a war casualty, and one deeply to be regretted. Anyway, best of luck, Lynn! Koenig: In spite of Editor Bridges' opinion of his own magazine, I liked it. One of the best in the mailing. If, due to the war, Bridges finds it impossible to publish future issues; I hope he finds tims to send in contributions to some of the other magazines. THE MADMAN OF MARS (#1) Freehafer: I don't know what you're going to say about this one, Koenig -- but I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with you.
