Part Five--Conclusion

Fantasy booklets have appeared at lesser intervals. _Amazing Stories_

put out Landell Bartlet's "Vanguard of Venus" in 1928. Gernsback has

put out 18 science fiction booklets, of which only the last six are

now in print. He likewise issued a reprint of Garret Smith's "Between

Worlds". Mimeographed booklets were put out by Carl Swanson (Edmond

Hamilton's "The Metal Giants", a reprint) and by the Fantasy Fiction

Publications ("Guests of the Earth" by Hugh Langley). The Arra

Printers have put out A. Merritt's "Thru the Dragon Glass," "The

Cavemen of Venus," "The Price of Peace," and Dr. Keller's "Wolf Hollow

Bubbles."

This article wouldn't be complete without mention of the hard-covered

fantasies. It's a hopeless task to try and muster even a tenth of all

the fantasy books. The best way to go about it, however, is to "haunt"

the second-hand book stores and scrutinize any book whose title sounds

promising or inviting.

There's one tantalizing feature connected with the collection of

fantastic fiction: your collection will Never be complete! But this

misfortune has one commendable merit. The collector's interest in

Fantasy fiction will never wane.
