In my ceaseless quest to avoid useful work, I recently opened up an old magazine from my double-stacked shelves of old sf/f zines, this one being the January 1963 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.

“This is good,” I said to myself. “I’m very successfully avoiding work. But how can I extend this evasion successfully into the future?”

There being no one else there, I was forced to respond: “I have access to the issues for that whole year, in physical and or electronic form. I could read and write reviews of them all!”

So that’s what this is.

The cover of F&SF for January 1963. Listed on the cover is “Speakeasy: a new novel by Mack Reynolds.” Other authors named are L. Sprage de Camp, frederik Pohl, Fritz Leiber, and Henry Slesar.The cover painting by Emsh depicts a young man and woman wearing futuristic clothing in a high-tech environment. The man has a drink in front of him and is looking away to his left; on his right, the young woman is whispering something in his ear.
