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: 98

pulp^?Magazine using the common pulp size: 6.5" by 9.5". For ISFDB purposes this may also be used as a designation for the quality of the paper. There are some untrimmed pulps that are as large as 8" by 11.75

Cover: Science Fiction Quarterly (UK), February 1955 by Jack Coggins (variant of Science Fiction Quarterly, November 1953 1953)
Notes: Artist and editor credited on contents page Contains the fiction content (and some essays) from the US November 1953 issue plus Jakes' "Your Number Is Up!" which apparently never appeared in SFQ but was first published in Amazing Stories December 1950. The uncredited artwork to "Your Number Is Up!" is almosr certainly by Edmond Swiatek - as this artwork was used in both the 1950 and 1971 publications of the same story, but this needs confirming.
