This book came out of a series of articles written by Glasgow fan Fred
Smith about Unknown magazine - later retitled Unknown
Worlds. He wrote a synopsis and criticism of each issue, originally
for publication in Claire Brialey and Mark Plummer's award-winning
fanzine Banana Wings.
Here they are collected into a book, illustrated in the appropriate style by Hugo-winning fan artist Sue Mason. Also included are comprehensive indexes to the stories, the authors, the artists and the letter writers. For the first time ever it includes a cross-reference between the British and American editions of the magazine, and various later anthologies. For various complicated reasons Unknown was actually published in the UK for six years after the US version folded. The indexes were done, as all good bibliographies should be, from the original magazines themselves, not from other listings. Several errors in previous reference works have thereby been corrected. |
