From the annals of yesterday’s Tomorrows: eBay is offering up a copy of TOMORROW: The Magazine of the Future, a science fiction fanzine with the tagline “What is good enough for today is much too bad for tomorrow.”
The spring 1938 issue includes a digest of rocketry news from around the world, features titled “Bring up a Child” and “Crypt of Civilisation,” and a meditation on the distinction between 1938 futurist fantasy (“a squat visitor from the stars whose general appearance suggested … a talking doughnut”) and plausible future realities (“immense towers emitting discharges of high tension electricity to control the weather”).
The magazine used to sell for a sixpence. The bidding’s now at $12.50.
