products (the falsie kit); supply needs (hair piece and dress cat- alogs); provide contacts (Person to Person); gather and spread in- formation about our kind of people through lectures, pamphlets, art- icles in other magazines, etc; conselled individual readers and/or their wives in helping them to resolve difficulties; in short done everything we could think of which would be helpful to you girls. During the 24 years of TVia's existence we have watched our reader- ship grow but also watched it maintain two classifications, (1) Those who write us letters, both congratulatory and constructive, who sup- ply material for the magazine and who, in other ways, demonstrate their appreciation, interest and participation, and (2) those whose only words are on an order form- "Please send me No. 14, enclosed is $4". These persons are valued for their financial support, but at the same time disappoint me a little because I don't seem to be able to reach them with the idea. TVia is not just a commercial venture as most other magazines are, it certainly is neither written nor com- posed in such a way that all we want is your money, as so many other publications in the field are. It is true that $4 an issue is not cheap, but considering how many places manage to sell it at $7 or $8 (and in England $30-35) it isn't bad for what you get. The burden of this paragraph is that I'd like those of you who haven't in the past looked upon TVia as the Voice of TVism or FPation (for this purpose I don't care which you prefer) to examine it in this light and ask yourself what you can contribute to it in material, in ideas, in constructive criticism, in short how can you participate? How about it?

IV. PIRACY ON THE HIGH TVS: I suppose it was inevitable but some dirty character without brains enough to figure out an honest bus- iness for himself has made photo copies of TVia #14 (and maybe others I haven't seen) and put them on sale in N. Y. and elsewhere. Since the publisher's name, Chevalier Publications, the address, Box 36091 Los Angeles 36, and the price $4 and issue all appear on the inside back cover he left it blank. He also omitted the name and address on the outside of the back cover. Such copies are forgeries. Please report the names and addresses of bookstores selling such. We will proceed against them legally.

V. LITERATURE: There is always interest in the literature on TVism both fact and fiction. Therefore, I have been collecting titles from various sources. I'd appreciate your submitting the names, pub- lishers and dates of such books as you know of so that they can be added to the list. I will publish it in TVia when enough material is at hand.
