	The three leading magazines in the F&SF genre are (I believe):

	1) Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact, Davis Publications, 13
		issues/year. $1.50 Bookstand, $16.25/yr.

	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.
