I wish to compliment you on your choice of ‘scientifictional’ stories.
In my three years of scientifictional activities I have employed various methods of introducing science fiction to the general public.
A. E. Van Vogt, the author who has risen to scientifictional heights under your aegis, has been selected as an honor guest for the 4th World Science-Fiction Convention.
I Was A Teenage Werewolf and The Vampire, though they both bear titles suggesting the supernatural rather than the scientifictional, actually are based on scientific, or pseudo-scientific, or celluloid-science theories.
John Wyndham’s papers are up for sale…. George Hay, founder of the SFF, is not so keen and would prefer investment in other, more scientifictional areas.
