1956001466New York: Ronald L. Smith 1956. First Edition . Paperback. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Henry Richard van Dongen cover; Jack Gaughan Cindy Smith Roy Hunt Marvin Bryer Dan Adkins. New York: Ronald L. Smith 1956. First edition. September 1956 whole number 50 issue number 16 under the name "Inside and Science Fiction Advertiser" which is the last name for the famed sci-fi / fantasy fanzine which was also published under the earlier names "Fantasy Advertiser" and "Science Fiction Advertiser" though the primary focus was always Science Fiction. Ron Smith became the Editor/Publisher with the November 1954 issue which was also the first under this name. Octavo stapled illustrated wraps a whopping 72 pp. - thick for this fanzine. Near Fine. Small chip top right front and another middle left back see scans and that's about it. Not much toning to the contents at all; bright tight and nearly flawless. This September of 1956 issue is certainly one of the best produced in the entire sequence; Ron Smith was really feeling his oats at this time. Featured are "Weird Tales in Retrospect" by August Derleth and part 3 of Lin Carter's astonishingly intensive research into the of actual books mentioned by H.P. Lovecraft in his stories. Bless him for the energy he spent. A plethora of great illustrations grace this issue perhaps more than any other issue of this or any sci-fi genre fanzine of the era one would guess: H.R. Van Dongen's cover is joined by a bunch of Jack Gaughan illustrations plus some by each of Dan Adkins Cindy Smith and Marvin Bryer plus cartoon illustrations by "Miller" and Dave Jenrette - all managed by Art Director Cindy Smith. Other articles include "Randall Garrett's Memo to E.A. Robinson" Larry T. Shaw's "The Baker Murder Case" Lin Carter's poem "The Return of the Fairies" Edmond Hamilton's "Time Traveling in Ohio" a Jonathan Hoag poem reprint courtesy of George Wetzel "To the Grand Canyon of the Ohio" William F. Nolan's "Dark Souls in Jeopardy" a short modernistic three-act play Garth Bentley's "Complaint of the EM" and illustrated humor by Dave Jenrette "People to Avoid at a Convention" as a tri-fold foldout. Also of course the original meat of the fanzine the book reviews here handled mostly by Carter Robert Silverberg and Charles Freudenthal. Even some of the seemingly-now-out-of-date book ad from sellers. Pretty much the peak of fanzine-ism. Collector gold and scarce as hen's teeth. Please review scans. l-pr1 <br/> <br/> Ronald L.

1957005598New York: Ronald L. Smith 1957. First Edition . Stapled Wraps. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Alan Hunter Cindy Smith Dan Adkins. New York: Ronald L. Smith 1954. First edition. March 1957 / Issue number 51 under the name Inside and Science Fiction Advertiser which is the last name for the famed sci-fi / fantasy fanzine which was also published under the earlier names "Fantasy Advertiser" and "Science Fiction Advertiser" though the primary focus was always Science Fiction. Ron Smith had been editing the publication for about 2 1/2 years by the appearance of this issue. Octavo stapled illustrated wraps 38 pp. While the contents are in near fine condition - just age-toned - and firmly bound - the rather battered covers assigns a Good grade only to this copy. See scans. Interestingly to the best of my research efforts this was the first and only nude-covers front and back issue the honors being done by Alan Hunter. Interior art contributions are by Cindy Smith and future serious pro Dan Adkins. Articles and reviews are by the editor and E.E. Smith L. Sprague de Camp John W. Campbell Jr. Lin Carter and Dave Foley. Ads and other bits of interest as well of course. An extraordinarily rare issue. For the collector. Please review scans. l-pr1 <br/> <br/> Ronald L.

Some toning to cover margins and one small nick at back cover see scans; otherwise bright tight and flawless.

Lovecraft's July 1919 philosophical reflection in The National Amateur "Idealism and Materialism" A Reflection in which he assesses those concepts as opposites as light and dark in the universe and as creations of mankind which will perish when we humans do. Plenty more inside however. There is fanzine art of the highest order ably managed by Art Editor Cindy Smith: Pat Patterson's wrap-around cover alien and outstanding interior art by Alan Hunter Lin Carter Frank Jonbrian Dan Adkins Jack Wilson and Dave Jenrette. Besides Lovecraft's piece there are articles by John Brunner Rusty Chains Robert Bloch Definitions Randall Garrett The Tale of Two Pretties Lin Carter H.P.

She ran her own cooking school and catered mostly for private classes of 6-8 people. Mmany of her customers were expatriates or from European diplomatic postings. In later years she also taught in Singapore. Published before Miss Chan moved from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. There are 18 pages of various cooking classes and dinners hosted by Miss Chan two in-text colour photographic plates and five further in-text pages of black and white photographs of various dishes.<br /> <br /> <br /> This version of Chinese Restaurant Dishes has approximately 120 clearly written recipes a bit more than half Cantonese with the names of the recipes in English Chinese and romanised Cantonese organised in the following chapters: Sharksfins sic; Bird's Nests; Chicken; Duck; Pork; Beef; Prawns Fish & Crab; Steamed Food in Boiler; Soups; Noodles; and Rice. Following the excellent recipes there is a glossary in English Chinese and romanised Cantonese of ingredients and a directory of where to buy ingredients and kitchenware in the UK Malaysia Australia and the USA.<br /> <br /> When compared with Miss Chan's earlier books this copy of Chinese Restaurant Dishes shows the extent of the Chinese diaspora throughout South East Asia and the cohesive nature of Chinese cuisine regardless of its location. When compared to each other the various books also show the rapid development of Western interest in learning to prepare and eat increasingly more complex and traditional Chinese dishes. <br /> <br /> Scarce.
