ORCHIDS TO DAVID V. REED
Sirs:
Orchids to David V. Reed for his "Kid Poison", top story in the August issue, and tops in real enjoyment. Keep feeding me Wilcox and Binder and I'll never squawk. I'm all for the character who returns to the past to verify points in history.
Patrick Festa,

Brooklyn, N. Y.
We have several historical yarns coming up, and they are worth waiting for.—Ed.
"MOSTLY TO GET McGIVERN"
Sirs:
My rating for the July issue is:
1—The Invincible Crime-Buster.
2—Survivors From 9,000 B. C.
3—Sidetrack In Time.
4—Mystery On Planetoid Ten.
5—No Man's Land in Space.
6—Ten Seconds from Nowhere.
The last one simply doesn't rate. Tell O'Brien to "perk up." I read Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures mostly to get William P. McGivern's stories. He's super-colossal. I would also like to see more of Henry Gade's stories.
Eddie Evans,
3720 Main,

McGivern has several great stories coming up. And Henry Code is finishing a a cover story based on a cover by a new artist, Malcolm Smith, which he has tentatively called "The Chlorophyl Girl," which he seems very enthusiastic about. We're hoping for something really fine. The cover is a beauty!—Ed.
SUGGESTIONS
Sirs:
William P. McGivern and David Wright O'Brien are my favorite authors, but I prefer them separate. You need not feel disgruntled, because you have done a swell job on the August issue.
The stories were all good. I disagree with L. L. Schwartz, who says: "In the future I want larger type, better stories, and fewer departments."
If you use smaller type, we get more for our money, provided you keep the same size magazine. As for better stories, I don’t think that's possible. Fewer departments is, to me, a letdown. I think a mag with no departments isn't worth buying.
Paul's back cover was all right, but not as good as usual. St. John's front cover was very good, although I've seen better from him.
I am eagerly awaiting the Pellucidar series.
To prevent Mr. James Ladd from having fits, I'll say at the end of my letter that I'm 12
