This is the last issue with Jim Baen as editor; book reviews by Spider Robinson. Cover stock has changed from durable paperback stock to something flimsier and cheaper with this and future issues. There are now variant spines: I have seen several complete or partial runs for this period, and some issues list a date and year on spine, but other copies of the same issue have only volume and number. Since the issues with full dates had subscription labels or traces on the cover - I will make the guess that newstand copies have Volume & Number on spine, and subscription copies were dated on spine (at least through April 1978, Volume 39, Number 4.) After that, even subscription copies have only Volume & Number on spine.
