- Type: MAGAZINE
- Cover: Science Fiction: A Review of Speculative Literature, #4 by Michael Kumashov
-
Notes:
- Size is 6.5" X 9 3/8", i.e. pulp size, but better bound that the traditional pulp. Perfect bound.
- Kumashov's Campaign is a 12-page art portfolio, consisting of all full-page drawings. One of them, "The Letter" is used for the cover of this issue as well.
- The magazine title page was published with an address for the author at the Univ. of Sydney, New South Wales, but that has been covered over with a sticker giving his address at Univ. of Western Australia, Nedlands, W.A. This presumably means that this is the first issue at that new address.
