Part Four
Some of the former Munsey magazines published a great deal of fantastic fiction that went under the name of 'different' stories. In fact, no fantasy collection could ever be considered 'fair' without a goodly number of these 'classics,' as they have been so often termed. The magazines were: Argosy, All-Story, Argosy All-Story, Cavalier, Cavalier All-Story, Scrap Book, and Munsey's Magazine. Dates 1890 and up!
If the collector is ambitious enough he may try to procure some of the English magazines that include fantastics within their covers. Same of them are: Pearson's Magazine (the monthly, not weekly), The Startler, Union Jack, Magnet, and Grit. The first, by the way, originally printed most of H. G. Wells' early fantasyarns, and it'd be a feather in any collector's hat if he were, by any chance, able to get his hands on one of those rare issues.
(We are sorry to state that Part Five will be the conclusion. In this last part, coming in our February issue, we will have Mr. Schwartz tell about fantasy booklets, and he will also inform us about the hard covers.)

"And you have brought it?" she asked softly, her hand stealing into his. He coughed. This being spokesman was a delicate task.
"Yes, your Highness," said the man. "It is here." He touched a small parcel beside him on the divan.
