Science Fiction Various: Astounding Stories of Super-Science April 1931. v1. 3 July 2010

[Mickey330]

Here is Astounding Stories of Super-Science, April 1931.

These first incarnations of Astounding were adventure-oriented magazines, with no interest in education through science. The covers were all painted by Wesso and similarly action-filled; the first issue showed a giant beetle attacking a man. The quality of the fiction was very low, and Bates would not accept any experimental stories, relying mostly on formulaic plots. But, they are still rip-roaring good reads.


My sister found this at Project Gutenberg. I tried reading the ePub version and the html version, but there was too much extraneous "stuff." All I wanted was text so I could read the stories.

These are very text-only ePubs. I took out all illustrations (except for the book cover), references to illustrations/advertisements, the Reader's corner (letters) and all the magazine details (price, editors, etc.).

All you get is the stories, formatted to show italics and with a Table of Contents.

Please let me know if they don't come out well for you (they show fine in my ereader and my version of ADE).

Thanks.

P.S. I see other Astounding books here, but (1) they are not ePub and (2) the two that are ePub have images and such - these are only text. So, please let me know if I've overstepped my limits by posting these. Thanks.
