A CHECKLIST OF FANTASY MAGAZINES 1945 Edition Bulletin Number One 20 c to Subscribers PREFACE As the first of a long line of Foundation publications we are happy to present a relatively complete checklist of all fantasy periodicals. Insofar as the major Eng­ lish-language titles are concerned, we believe this list to be both complete and error-free, but it was not poss­ ible to furnish an adequate listing of.several of the more obscure items. It is also very likely that there exist several foreign language publications whose names are not even known to us. Anyone able to furnish addi­ tional information is requested to send it to Forrest J. Ackerman, 236^ N. New Hampshire, Los Angeles 4, Cal., for inclusion in the next edition of this checklist. No author is shown on the title page of this pamphlet because in its present form it is the work of at least five individuals: Norman V. Lamb, William H. Evans, Merlin W. Brown, Forrest J. Ackerman, and Francis T, Laney. The Fantasy Foundation wishes to extend its thanks to these gentlemen, as well as to the several members of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society who assisted in its production.
