ticular persuasion they don't buy again. But anyone who reads five issues and still says, "those are my kind of people, and I want in" is our own kind. We require the issues to be purchased from Chevalier sim- ply because it is the only way we have of being certain that they have bought and read. It is not necessary to wait for five new issues. Any issues will serves the purpose so back issues are as good as current ones.

III. NEW STORIES: Of the six books announced in TVia No. 73 as soon to be published, four have been published, one will probably be out before you get this issue and the last one (the second half of “If You Can't Like 'Em, Join 'Em") will follow very shortly. In addition, School- girl, Turnabout Party and His and Hers have been sold out and are in the process of being reprinted which shows how popular they were. If you didn't get them the first time better order them now as I always print frewer on the second printing and I do not anticipate reprinting still a third time.

There are a couple of other long stories in the works which will both probably have to be done in two volumes like “Lick 'Em, Join 'Em”. So you will have more to look forward to but I can't give you any date to expect them because of my travel schedule referred to elsewhere in this issue and because I have to accumulate the capital to do it with. When money is tied up in unsold stock it is not available to print new things. However if any of you want to order in advance and help build up a printing fund it will be appreciated. I can't tell for sure until the stories are typed and the number of pages determined but the originals are so long that I expect that both parts will be $5 sellers. Anyway, figure on that and a credit will be issued if they turn out to be less.

IV. MANUSCRIPT PAYMENTS: Credit slips have gone out to those who have contributed material to any of the issues between 72 and 76. Sometimes persons do not sign their contributions and if I don't think to do so at the moment they come out of the envelope, the contri- bution becomes an orphan. If you contributed something for which payment should have been made and you haven't gotten it please let me know so I can check up on it for you.

V. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: This is always valuable and wel- comed. If there is something about TVia that you think should be alter- ed let's hear about it. If the idea is good and others would seem to agree we'll make the change. I'm not wedded to the present form if somebody can come up with better ideas.
