EDITORIAL EMANATIONS

I. NEW STORIES: The five stories first listed in the price list in No. 73 are gradually getting into print. "Schoolgirl," "Turnabout," and "His and Hers" have been printed and mailed out. "Birth of Barbara” will be done about the time this issue is—maybe before, and "If You Can't Lick 'em, Join 'em" is in the artist's hands for some illustrations. So those of you who have these on order please be patient a bit longer. They'll get to you in good time. There is quite a logistic problem getting five stories typed, illustrated, typeset, proof read, then pasted up and printed; especially when at the same time I am reprinting the "Martin to Marion" series and the new issue of Transvestia is also in the works.

II. THIRD CLASS MAIL: Elsewhere I've asked for postal help from any of you willing to receive things via Third rather than First Class Mail. I'm asking it here too in the hopes that if you miss one you'll read the other. Other TV outfits do this but Ihave made a covenant with my readers and I won't switch to 3rd class without your specific permission. But if you wouldn't mind, please let me know. My postal bill would keep any of you for six months, so any help you could give me to cut this expense down would surely be appreciated. Just look at the postage on some of your multi-item packages and you'll see what I mean. 8-12% of sales price for delivery only is very high.

III. SINGLE CHECKS FOR TWO PURPOSES: Once again, PLEASE DO NOT COMBINE money for Chevalier and money for Phi Pi Ep- silon in the same check. They are two separate operations with two sep- arate bank accounts. Please make FPE checks payable to FPE and Chevalier purchases to Chevalier Publications. Otherwise I have to write a check from one account to the other to balance things up.
