Price:
1/6^?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. 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).
Pages: 128
Format:
digest^?Digest-size magazine, including both standard digest size, at about 7" by 4.5", and also large digest, such as recent issues of Asimov's, which are about 8.25" by 5.125".
Type: MAGAZINE
Cover: New Worlds Science Fiction, #25 July 1954 by Gerard Quinn
Notes: Wright's text is indicated as being illustrated by Hutchings but it's probably a mistake as they more look like Clothier and are not signed as is usually the case with Hutchings' drawings. Note also that the latter is not this issue's list of illustrators. Same for Hawkins' text indicated as illustrated by Hutchings but where drawings are signed Quinn. The same issue was released as a canadian edition, two months later in September 1954. The only differences are the price on the cover and top of t.o.c. page (35 cents), and publisher info on the lower part of t.o.c. page.
