Note: Destinies was published in standard paperback format for 11 issues between 1978 and 1981. There was a subsequent series of anthologies, also edited by James Baen, entitled "New Destinies". The original information was supplied by Michael J. Cross ([mailto:mike@mjckeh.demon.co.uk mike@mjckeh.demon.co.uk]). From the back cover of Destinies, Nov/Dec 1978: "Welcome to the future - welcome to Destinies YOU are about to embark on a wholly new concept in the publication of science fiction: the very first issue of the very first PAPERBACK science fiction magazine. In this and succeeding issues of DESTINIES you will find the best in CURRENT science fiction - stories of profound insight and High Adventure by such renowned authors as ... and virtually all the other contemporary writers who have made - and are making - science fiction what it is ... and what it will become. These are the writers who give shape and substance to our dreams - and it is from our dreams that the future itself takes form. But it is not just great fiction that will make up the pages of DESTINIES; this is the magazine of science fiction and SPECULATIVE FACT. In it you will find something even scarcer than solid exciting science fiction: ''non-fiction for the science fiction reader'' - Speculative Fact, if you will."
