Issue Date Pages Notes
1 September 1949 According to the second issue, the first issue was distributed at the Cinvention and there were hopes of distributing a third issue at the NorWesCon.
2 1950 24 Gives the editor and publisher as Donald B. Day, publisher of The Fanscient -- the editorial even makes this believable. It appears to have been distributed through FAPA, according to the contents page.
Mimeographed, quarter-folded and saddle-stapled; on at least some copies, the top edge is uncut, so it's very difficult to read unless one commits the sacrilege of actually cutting the pages. Cover by Miles Rayburn Day; contents are “Thots on Korzybski” (uncredited); “Excerpts from Zero” (poem, uncredited); “Out of Legend” -- Old Mother Hubbard (parody of the “Spotlight” feature in The Fanscient -- written by Miles Eaton, illustrated by Donald B. Day); “Ether, Ether” (autobiography -- Simon Rosebud, pseudonym); and “Strategy on Venus” (Inch Dining, pseudonym).
