Welcome to the 75th edition of True Review!
Our diamond anniversary issue. Hard to believe. I can remember like it was yesterday, finishing the layout for True Review 21, and thinking we had reached a milestone. When that issue went to press in March 1994, I thought my work with True Review was finished. Time to turn out the lights. I had said all I could have said, and ran out of editorial ideas (the last one speaking about how I regretted treating a friend in college, whom I was able to apologize to shortly thereafter); and that issue had an interview with Fred Saberhagen, Guest of Honor at the previous year’s Philcon.
Done. Finished. Well…maybe not.
Never in my wildest imagination could I have conceived of another 54 issues. My gosh!
The good folks at Tor Books have something to celebrate too – their 30th anniversary! We have reviewed many wonderful Tor Books over the years in True Review. Congratulations, Tom Doherty and the fabulous Tor staff!
For the first time we’ve also included a magazine review. REALMS OF FANTASY’s “How Interesting: A Tiny Man” by Harlan Ellison has the honor of being our first. I can’t guarantee a magazine review every issue, but we will try.
Next issue: We plan our “popcorn special” reviews for books that would make great movies!
I’m savoring the moment. I hope you do, too.
