• The image is of low-resolution, and only shows one page (the cover) from a 32-page issue.
• No equivalent free-content image is possible.
• The magazine and the organisation of which it was the official organ have both gone into abeyance.
• I, user:Grutness, am James Dignan, who was both editor of this particular issue and a committee member of the National Association for Science Fiction at the time it went into abeyance.
• I have the permission of artist Dan McCarthy for the use of his artwork in this context. Dan was also a member of the committee of NASF at the time it went into abeyance.
