From: Jonathan Ostrowsky <jo@SCRC-RIVERSIDE.ARPA> Re the following, from Vol. 9, #117: From: ihnp4!houxm!houxa!4375jlf @ Ucb-Vax.arpa Subject: Early F&SF Magazines For Sale For Sale: The Magazine of Fantasy, Vol.1 No.1 (Fall '49) and Vol.1 No.3 (Summer '50) (This was the progenitor of F&SF Mag.) Fantasy & Science Fiction: Dec. '50, Dec. '51 Fantasy & Science Fiction: complete years; '52, '53, '54, '55, '56, '58, '59, '61, '62, '63, '64. Also Jan. & Feb. '65. All in excellent condition. In re-reading these over the past couple of years, I am amazed at how much of what we now think of as "classic" SF was first printed in F&SF. Other good stuff too--like the stories that were later turned into "Wodehouse Playhouse" on public TV. I find it very hard to believe that Wodehouse ever published anything in F&SF. Can the sender of this ad, or anyone else, supply story titles and dates as confirmation of this claim? Jonathan Ostrowsky jo%scrc-vixen@mit-mc

I'm the guy who purchased the magazines. On at least one cover, I noticed Wodehouse's name. I'll check the magazines and get a specific listing of stories, but it will take a few days (there are over 130 magazines, and my free time is scarce). Doesn't there exist some form of reference that lists all SF authors (as of such-and-such a date), their stories, and the place the stories where published?
