Six of the seven issues published (lacking issue number 2, April 1937) prior to merging with Doug Mayer's TOMORROW. "SCIENTIFICTION is still one of the most important fanzines ever produced in Britain and is now an invaluable source of news about prewar SF. Moskowitz called it 'a superb effort,' while Warner considers it 'one of the most ambitious fanzines in history.' With his expertise as a journalist, Gillings was able to produce a highly readable magazine useful both to those inside and outside SF. Apart from news and reviews presented in professional newspaper style, the magazine also contained interviews, photographs and critical articles. It is an essential reference aid for the serious researcher." - Tymn and Ashley (eds), Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, p. 841.
