"Fantasy Focus (Est. 1629)" is not an article, but a full page ad by Forrest J. Ackerman on page 36. The flip side of the front cover is a full page ad for Hadley. The flip side of the back cover is a full page ad for "Portfolio of Drawings by Hannes Bok" with a sample drawing reproduced. The back cover is a full page ad for forthcoming FPCI books. "The Book Mark" department is not credited, but the content suggests that it was written by the editors. The two Ackerman articles on page 42 are very small, barely a paragraph each. "Books in the Fantasy World" is about FPCI's plans and is effectively an extension of the FPCI ad on the back cover.
