BEYOND FANTASY FICTION. (Ten issues, all published).
New York: Galaxy Publishing Corporation, 1953-1955. Small octavo, ten issues, pictorial wrappers. Digest magazine. This was to be a companion to Galaxy Science Fiction, in the tradition of Unknown. Author's include Damon Knight, Frank Robinson, Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, John Wyndham, Algis Budrys, Zenna Henderson, Jerome Bixby, Philip Jose Farmer, Fredric Brown, and others. It could not duplicate the audience of Campbell's Unknown which failed due to WWII paper shortages. This magazine's content was not broad based fantasy fiction, while it did publish quality fiction, it stayed away from traditional fantasy and popular sword and sorcery. It also got lost in the SF digest magazine boom. The covers of the first two issues are by Richard Powers. Tymm and Ashley, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 137-142.

10,000 YEARS IN A BLOCK OF ICE. Translated From the French ... by John Paret.
London, New York: F. Tennyson Neely, Publisher, [1898]. Octavo, pp. [3-5] 6-256 [257-258: ads] [note: text complete despite gap in pagination], original olive-green ribbed cloth, front and spine panels stamped in silver and red. First edition in English. A translation of DIX MILLE ANS DANS UN BLOC DE GLACE (1889). A sequel of sorts to LES SECRETS DE MONSIEUR SYNTHESE (1888-9). This same monsieur, the sole survivor of a polar expedition, is resuscitated, after having been in suspended animation for 10,000 years, by the Cerebrals, an advanced race of tiny humanoids (a cross of Chinese and Negroes) possessing tremendous mental powers which enable them, among other things, to fly and to communicate with Mars. Versins notes that the book is remarkable for its lack of the sort of racism that characterizes most adventure fiction of this period. It is also, for a sleeper-awakes-in-the-distant-utopian-future SF tale, unusually short. Anatomy of Wonder (1976) 2-21 and (1981) 1-25. Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 246.

Olathe, KS: RB Publishing, [2002]. Searchable CD-ROM. Revised and corrected edition. On Compact Disc. Quasi-descriptive bibliography compiled to meet the need for a single volume bibliography providing comprehensive and accurate checklists of all book fiction by major authors identified with the science fiction, fantasy and horror genres from the late nineteenth-century through the 1970s. This work, loosely modeled on Merle Johnson's classic American First Editions, provides the first comprehensive listing of book fiction by 215 authors highly regarded for their writings in the science fiction, fantasy and horror fields. The bibliography is intended for those who wish to identify first and significant later printings and editions of books by these authors. The checklists are designed to provide listings of all book fiction for each author through 1977 in a compact, but comprehensive and coherent format and to provide descriptions that will enable the reader to identify first and other significant printings and editions. To aid researchers and collectors, in addition to describing the first printing, the hardcover printing of any book preceded by a paperback printing (or printings) is described. Later printings or editions with title changes or revised texts and reprint collections with rearranged contents, abridgments, or enlargements are included as well. Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 7-7.
