Reviews
Every issue of Futures Past is more impressive than the previous one. Jim Emerson has done a truly amazing (also astounding and astonishing) job of resurrecting SF of 1928 that even Sam Moskowitz probably did not know! And Emerson has obviously established himself as a worthy successor to Moskowitz as the premier historian of the SF field. I eagerly await 1929.
