Darkening to cheap paper but pages quite supple the full set is attractively bound a full leather binding with front and spine stamped in gold. Complete sets are rare. 31883. Octavo 18 issues printed or self wrappers. The first important weird fiction fanzine and one of the most desirable of the fanzines of the thirties.

". one of the legendary magazines of the 1930s . an extremely consistent and reliable magazine ." Tymn and Ashley eds. Science Fiction Fantasy and Weird Fiction Magazines pp. 822-23. According to Hornig writing in 1988 "THE FANTASY FAN was printed by Conrad Ruppett of Jamaica New York hand set. Julius Schwartz and I helped him collate and staple each copy every month for eighteen months. Except for the second issue 500 copies there were only 250 printed and the paid circulation never reached over 50. What happened to the residue Well I found someone to buy up most of the unsold copies and that was B. K. Gores of Austin Texas. I never heard from him before or since never knew him in fandom and don't know whatever happened to him. Somewhere there should be stacks of TFF unless they're destroyed."

"Baldwin first wrote HPL in the fall of 1933 proposing to issue 'The Colour Out of Space' as a booklet. HPL revised the tale slightly for the prospective publication but the plan never materialized. In early 1934 HPL put Baldwin in touch with Duane W. Rimel who by coincidence lived in the same small town Asotin Washington. The two took turns reading HPL's letters to each of them. Baldwin wrote two columns of news notes for the FANTASY FAN: 'Side Glances' April May September 1934 and 'Within the Circle' June July August October November 1934 January February 1935 much of the information for which was derived from HPL's letters to him as was the significant early article 'H.

2002DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SFONDO DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO. LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, GRAFFIETTI ALLA COPERTINA. Michel Zévaco (Ajaccio, 1º febbraio 1860, Eaubonne, 8 agosto 1918) è stato un romanziere, insegnante, giornalista, editore e attivista anarchico francese. Degno successore di Alexandre Dumas, Michel Zévaco, popolarissimo autore di feuilletons a cavallo tra Otto e Novecento, ci offre con Nostradamus, il primo romanzo del ciclo da lui dedicato alla figura del celebre autore delle profetiche Centurie. L'Autore dipinge il ritratto, cupo e sanguinoso, della Francia di Caterina de' Medici, delle guerre di religione, della caccia alle streghe... In un susseguirsi di duelli, agguati notturni, rapimenti, magie, evocazione di morti, prende corpo la trama della ventennale vendetta, con cui l'ormai anziano Nostradamus vuol punire coloro che gli hanno rovinato la giovinezza e sottratto Marie, la giovane sposa: re Enrico II di Valois, e i suoi infidi amici, Roncherolles e Saint-André. Recentemente ristampato in Francia dalla casa editrice Laffont, il romanzo ha riscosso un enorme successo.
