Thanks.
I thought of several responses to that samurai taste remark, all of them detrimental to myself, and so let us continue with...
Today I received another Ben Bova proof to add to my outstanding Ben Bova collection.
(Collector's hint - Ben Bova proofs and ARCS are much easier to obtain and afford than Stephen King equivalents)
I also received my yearly F&SF bundle, which, added to my complete run, makes 753 separate magazines, including a few multiple copies, such as the special Stephen King issue, still available on the F&SF website in the standard state. As far as I know there are three states; 1. Glossy Cover, 2. Matt Finish cover with unsigned back, 3. Matt Finish cover with signed back (but what do I know, there are probably a dozen other states out there somewhere, like Texas and New Mexico and Rhode Island and who knows what the heck else).
