1937 Imagination Oct. 5/1	Fan Mag Reviews are out. Or, rather, never were to be‘in’. There is so little space left over, Weisinger explaind [sic] ‥& the mag is edited on such a close margin‥that the chance of a ‘Fan Mag Review’ feature is quite impossible.
1949 R. Bloch in Thrilling Wonder Stories June 162/1	By this time, of course, what with writings to editors and reading fan-mags and writing to authors and writing fan-mags, the fan has absolutely no time left to read any more pro magazines.
1949 R. Bloch in Eighth Stage of Fandom (1962) 16	He no longer finds time to read even the fan mags; of course, he gets very few of these because his feuds have cut him off the mailing lists.
1952 A. Budrys in Planet Stories Nov. 111/1	The advertising value of fanzines to promags is negligible, for the simple reason that anyone in sufficient contact with STF to read fanmags knows all about the prozines.
