The Digest Enthusiast


Some of you are going to want this, I know.  Just look at the ToC below, and you'll see why I say that.  If you have any interest at all in digest-size magazines, you'll have to have it.  There's a website set up with a nice gallery of digest covers, and there will soon be a forum there for discussion of digests.  Check it out.

Too much Fate and Coronet.

Well...if I don't have to read FATE, I don't mind reading about it...and CORONET is interesting in the way that LIFE or certainly READER'S DIGEST is, as a measure of their era.

Bill, did I miss FM posts about these?

I think I posted about the first one. Not this one, though.
