There has to co something wrong x^ith hhis idea. Somewhere,,

JOHN BOARDMAN says that the De Camp series is "Johnny Black*’not "Black Johnny" and that ’s crafty trader is Nikolaas "not RaMbran'r Van Ri^n. Which is right, of course., John insists" that'The "Cujse’i11 stories are part of the "Dying Earth" series,, I haven’t had any nthe^ opinions on this that I can reeall0

JACK_CHALKER accuses me of neglecting the INDEX TO THE SCIENCE-FANTAS^ PUBLISHERS done by he and Owings. No. no, I didn’t do it' He al mentions Owings’ THE NECRONOMICON, a lovely little booklet on th'aV legendary volume of black magic.

CHESTER CUTHBERT has helped "a great deal with the Bok index,. He says that his wantlist lastlsh brought absolutely no response., unfortunately,.

Say, wait-7 did you try reaching Miske through Bill Hamling, who printed BIZAARE for Miske and Marconette?

And thus we come to the end of the letters for this issue, Unless you want to count a large empty envelope from HIKE WARD that was with the CB correspondence for some reason, It was probably supposed tc remind me of something, and failed utterly.
