Mini Review By Sarah Thompson

Were the first editions all A5 digest size? I have #3 in that format, but for #s 1 and 2 I have versions on US letter-size paper; I suspect these may be North American reprints by Bill Hupe. For #s 4 and 6 I have photocopies only.

I'm especially fond of Judith Seaman's "Beast" in #3, a clever bit of Avon- torture.
