Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).

    pulp?Magazine using the common pulp size: 6.5" by 9.5". For ISFDB purposes this may also be used as a designation for the quality of the paper. There are some untrimmed pulps that are as large as 8" by 11.75
  • Type: MAGAZINE
  • Cover: Strange Adventures, #1, September 1946 by H. W. Perl
  • Webpages: archive.org
  • Notes:
    • Alternate title: Amazing Adventures. "The contents page of the first issue has no title, but a self-referential blurb refers to the magazine as Amazing Adventures. The latter title has never actually been used as the title of an SF magazine; rumors of such a title were probably produced by coverless copies of [Strange Adventures #1]." (Contento & Miller)
    • Contento & Miller give the price as 2/-, but the cover is pretty clear that the price is 1/-. The price for issue #2 is consistently listed as 1/-.
