I mentioned it thus so that readers knew which WEIRD TALES issue I was talking about (in spite of the cover shot). There are some fine stories by Bloch, Howard, Moore, Kuttner, and even Doyle.<br /><br />The ad was a surprise. I wonder if Pundit Tabore thought the contents of WEIRD TALES was connected, even remotely, to mysticism or metaphysics. I am assuming he was targeting readers of the magazine in Bombay. I had to look up the word "Rosicrucians" and in the process learned something new, thanks.Prashant C.

I remember one particularly ad for dozens of price-tagged toys and gadgets displayed across the page. I'll probably find the ad in one of my old comic-books. As a kid I wanted all of them.Prashant C.

I even bought "1000 magnets" one time from a comic book, and they were so small you couldn't use 'em.
