  • News Letter Is Unable to Report If Any Such Meetings Were Held Or If Any Club Members Appeared
    THE CONVENTION REPORT UJ iL tn LU Photographs on pages 9, 15. FICTION SUMMER BOOKS SCIENCE FANS & WRITERS hD 3 CHICAGO | worm's eyeview cartoon on opposite page by Lee Hoffman | Bulletin; Thru error, it was reported at convention that 1,050 people had signed In. Dup.licate registrations and pen­ names caused confusion. Final and official count now reveals that only 867 registered. Estimated 175 gate-crashers also present. 0PENIN3 DAY: One year ago at New Orleans, science fiction conven­ tions moved into the realm of big business when that affair grossed over one thousand dollars. This year, attendance and program presentation likewise moved into the higher brackets. The three - day Chicago program was overloaded with names and star attractions, so overloaded that a fourth day could have been added to handle the overflow. Target of much fan criticism because they were "professional hucksters," the convention committee provided more mass program entertainment than could be adequately grasped. Like all previous conventions, this one began late. A long and seemingly unending line of people formed before noon to register; by mid-afternoon they were still at it. In addition, the hotel carpenters were unable to prepare the stage in time for the open­ ing hour; a Catholic youth convention in the same hotel had stayed beyond their allotted time, ruining schedules. Some six hundred people sat in the Terrace Casino, watching a giant moon-map hung as a backdrop, watching people scurrying about on the stage. About 4;30 pm, William Hamling opened the proceedings with an’ address of welcome, and It was announced that 650 people had reg­ istered up until that time.

A special "Thank you" for the permission to reproduce the art and photograph in this bibliography. Thanks to Jon D. Swartz, Ph. D. for his profile of Sam Moskowitz. Few bibliographies are created without the help of many hands. In particular, finding or confirming many of the fanzine writings of Moskowitz depended on the gracious assistance of a number of people. The following individuals went above and beyond in providing information: Alistair Durie, for details and scans of over fifty of the most elusive items, and going above and beyond in help and encouragement. Sam McDonald, for a lengthy list of confirmed and possible Moskowitz items, and for copies of rare articles. Christopher M. O'Brien, for over 15 unknown items John Purcell, for connecting me with members of the Corflu set.
