Price:
1/6^?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).
Pages: 128
Format:
digest^?Digest-size magazine, including both standard digest size, at about 7" by 4.5", and also large digest, such as recent issues of Asimov's, which are about 8.25" by 5.125".
Type: MAGAZINE
Cover: Astounding Science Fiction, April 1954 (UK) by Sam André (variant of Astounding Science Fiction, November 1953 1953)
Notes: Vol X, No 4 (British Edition). A reprint from the November 1953 US edition. The Analytical laboratory has a review of a "book received"--(Flight Into Space)--not included in the US original. This appears to have been an extra, inserted by the reprinting company, and written by an uncredited reviewer. A review actually written by P. Schuyler Miller appeared in the July 1954 US edition, and was reprinted in the December 1954 UK edition. There appears to be an extra Kelly Freas illustration not included in the US original (The Happiness Effect [2]). The article "The Logical Parallax" is listed in the contents as by "Dr. Gotthard Gunthard", but credited on its title page as by "Dr. Gotthard Gunther": this appears to be the article in the 1953 original by Gotthard Günther
