FANTASY REVIEW [later SCIENCE-FANTASY REVIEW]. February / March 1947 – Spring 1950 (volume 1, number 1–volume 4, number 18). Edited by Walter H. Gillings.

Ilford, Essex: Walter H. Gillings, 1947-1950. Octavo, eighteen issues, pictorial self wrappers, stapled. A complete file of the eighteen issues published prior to incorporation as supplements in Gillings' professional magazine SCIENCE-FANTASY. "FANTASY REVIEW" was the title Gillings gave to his postwar revival of SCIENTIFICTION. Professionally printed as a neat twenty-page booklet (later growing to thirty-two and even forty pages), it was edited with Gillings' usual polish. Gillings also wrote most of the contents, often under such pen names as Thomas Sheridan and Geoffrey Giles, and the magazine contains an immense amount of news of all kinds, as well as intelligent reviews and criticism. FR was certainly the most mature news magazine British fandom had produced, and it is still one of the most elaborate of its kind." - Tymn and Ashley, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 824-25. [Reference: Pavlat and Evans, Fanzine Index (1965), p. 40 and p. 96]. Staples rusted, some age darkening and handling wear, many issues have a vertical crease from mailing, a very good set. (31544).
