I have received inquiries concerning my last net message, saying ap-
proximately, "I'm new at this: what's _Unknown Worlds_?"

	_Unknown Words_ was one of the two finest fantasy magazines
published (_Weird Tales_ being the other).  It was developed by
John W. Campbell, Jr., as a companion magazine to Astounding/Analog.
It had superb stories in it, including _Darker Than You Think_, 
"A Gnome There Was," "Trouble With Water," and "The Compleat Werewolf."

The paper sortage in World War II caused it to cease publication.

The current Analog editor would like to bring it back; the fantasies it would
attract would be superior, but the publisher needs convincing.

If you need convincing, go to a used magazine shop and look at an issue
(it was originally _Unknown_, then _Unknown Worlds_).  If you're interested
in having it back, wrote Stanley Svhmidt and ask your non-net friends to
do so too.
