Abstract
Typescript press copies of five stories published in the science fiction magazine New Worlds, May-Jun 1965.
Biographical / Historical
New Worlds was a science fiction magazine established in 1936 as a fanzine originally entitled Novae Terrae (it was renamed New Worlds in 1939). Regular contributors included Brian Aldiss, J.G. Ballard, and Michael Moorcock, who became editor in 1964. After problems with funding, the magazine's 200th and final edition was published in April 1970; thereafter New Worlds was published as a paperback anthology on a less regular basis.
