Subject: Astounding Stories
In case anyone is interested, the first year of Astounding Stories is
up at the internet Archive.

http://www.archive.org/details/Astounding_Stories_of_Super_Science_1930

It's going through Distributed Proofing to go into Project Gutenberg.
The first year and eight months were published in the US without a
copyright notice.

Oh, nice.

But I'm going to have to figure out how to make it cut the page
size down to something that will fit on my screen.

The Gutenberg version should be rather easier to handle.

The link seems not to work.  "...does not match any of
the items in the Archive."

Jan 1930!  I wasn't even an embryo until later that
year.

I just took a look, thanks.
The advertisements are the most interesting part.

Evidently the scams haven't changed much in 80 years:  We have a great
home-based business opportunity just for you.  Just send us $25 and
we'll get you started....

And $25 was a heck of a lot of money in 1930.  You could feed a
family for a quarter, if you had a quarter.

This page:

http://ia311203.us.archive.org/2/items/Astounding_Stories_of_Super_Sc...

has one of the radium ads. A pad, not suppositories.

Judging from the January Table of Contents, the stories must be bloody
awful. No wonder parents back then tried to keep their kids from reading
this stuff.

Try this link:

http://ia311203.us.archive.org/2/items/Astounding_Stories_of_Super_Sc...

That should bypass anything not working correctly for you.
