Write for details of the Science Fiction Book Club — 156 YOUNGEST READER You will find enclosed a photo- graph of my cousin, aged two, who was sitting quite engrossed in Authentic when I happened to walk in the other day. Maybe you’ve got another fan even though he is a non-reader, as yet. G. Lye, Pear Tree House, Low Pittington, Co. Durham. And a very pretty picture it makes, Mr. Lye. But what makes you think he is not reading it? We'll never believe he was just staring at the print. A_ bright boy, that. Watch him! FEUD What we need in Projectiles is a rip-roarin’ feud. The battling fans. C’mon fans, let’s have more life, let’s have some real crazy feuds, let’s have some favourite fans as well as favourite authors. Here’s a feuding topic. Who says Bryan Berry has adapted Ray Bradbury’s style of writing? Evidently Basil P. Coukes does. Heck man, to say Berry writes like Bradbury is plain silly. If every new up and coming author was accused of copying another author’s style, we’d soon have very few original authors indeed. You might as © well say Bradbury has copied Berry’s style!
