New on Archive.org, the Amateur Correspondent for May-June 1937 (Vol. 2, No. 1), with H.P. Lovecraft on the cover in the now well-known Virgil Finlay cover art. Inside this issue of “the magazine for the amateur fantasy writer” is a lively short tribute to Lovecraft from E. Hoffmann Price. Lovecraft had died a few months earlier in March 1937, so this issue was a tribute issue. But not wholly so when one looks inside — the reader senses that the news of the death was then still slowly percolating through fandom.

Archive.org also has the Amateur Correspondent for November-December 1937 (Vol. 2, No. 3) with Clark Ashton Smith giving lengthy advice to writers on “Atmosphere in Weird Fiction”.
