1948500593<p>"Theodore Sturgeon" New York July 20 1948. 4to. 1 page. To William Targ of the World Publishing Company: ".I should like to go on record with the following: Science-fiction is always a starting thing when first encountered. The hesitation of your Cleveland office is in this light eminently understandable. I want to stress two things: first the youth of today differs markedly from that which reveled in PEEWEE HARRIS and the TOM SWIFT books but their sense of realism and sky's-the-limit fantasy are being developed by the juvenile novel's chief competitors -- the movies and the comics. My second point is that in writing I am by no means limited to science-fiction. I have sold in many fields. I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know when your Cleveland office is sure they want to kill the JET JACKSON project altogether; it may have market possibilities in some other house."</p> unknown books
