Oops, just noticed this is a Zombie, Hopefully they let it stay open as nothing bad in it. If you tell us more about the mags, it could be considered a vital update. Jim **Lynn** , did you open that used book store? When I retire I want to open a used book store, but I am a book nut. ---

My maternal Grandfather subscribed to Astounding Science Fiction magazine (I think… the original and most famous pulp SF magazine) from the 1930’s until his death in 1990 or so, and the entire complete run will be mine someday! Muahahahahaha! (That’s what I get for being the only grandson! Ha! I have faced my sister and 3 female cousins!) ---

> [@Exapno Mapcase](#): > > No. I wouldn’t have allowed a story with a misspelled title to be published. 😃 Heh. I got Asimov to autograph the issue of Galaxy in which The Martian Way was published - with his name misspelled. He was still pissed 20 years later. ---

Astounding began in 1930, died for a while, then got revived under Street & Smith. I’d suspect the original Astoundings would be worth a pretty penny.
