Very good magazine with a mix of ~ 75% SF/ 25% Fantasy. Top writers, good science fact writing. Edited by Stan Schmidt, book reviews by Tom Easton, monthly column by G. Harry Stein. 2) The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Mercury Press, 12 Issues/year. $1.50 Bookstand, $15.00/yr. Another good magazine, but not quite as many "name" writers as Analog. ~ 75% Fantasy/ 25% SF. The monthly science fact column by Isaac Asimov has been there for years. Edited by Ed Ferman, book reviews by Algis Budrys, film reviews by Baird Searles. 3) Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Davis Publications, 13 issues/year. $1.50 Bookstand, $16.25/yr. The newest offering, probably giving Analog a run for its money in circulation figures by now. Edited by Kathleen Moloney. Book reviews by Baird Searles, film reviews by Merl Reagle, monthly editorial and letter responses by the Good Doctor. 100% short SF. So what do I subscribe to? All three, of course.
