A far better source for SF periodicals, and much more besides: http://www.luminist.org/archives/SF/

I donated! I occasionally came across some broken links, but they were fixed in due course. This site is one of the treasures of the Internet.

I downloaded this 1926 issue of Amazing Stories (https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/luminist/SF/AS/AS_1926_04...), and my idea of the 1920's has already shifted a little. The influence of 'radio' on the public's imagination is something I hadn't quite appreciated. The word 'scientifiction' is interesting. Thanks for the link.

An amazing site, a real treasure. The covers are something else: lurid, sometimes very amateurish, but still wonderful. Plenty of pulp but also some very good stories, well written, by great writers. I feel we've lost something over the past four decades.
