SCIENCE FANTASY NEWS

All issues of SCIENCE FANTASY NEWS and SFNEWS MINOR have been uploaded. Plus some other material relating specifically to the LONCON, the 1952 London S-F Convention.
Before too long and depending how early I (Gregory) can get up in the morning there will soon be a proper intro and description to all this.

A variety of other bits and pieces related to SFN also exist - these include an un-numbered issue of SFNMinor dated November 1950 that has not yet been sourced.

This edited extract from the BRITISH FANZINE BIBLIOGRAPHY almost illuminates the issue of supplements, one of which falls into the Not Yet Sourced category.

The alert among you will note that not all the drawn headings and other illustrations used in SFN have been included; some of them are rather poor and not worth the effort, so I have inserted just the best to give the flavour of the original, with no intention whatsoever of producing a perfect webbed replica.
More material will appear here eventually.
