Rubbing wear to front; the same or dirt buildup on back. There are small holes (1/4" or less) next to spine in middle of front & back covers (see scans.) Age-tanning is average or a little worse.

Ejler Jakobsson is editor, Judy-Lynn Benjamin is managing editor, Lester del Rey is features editor, Jack Gaughan is Associate Art Director. This year will see a faltering of the monthly schedule (no June or August issues), along with a change of publisher (to UPD Corp. as of July, 1969) and editor (this issue is the first for new editor Ejler Jakobsson.) IF resumes monthly publication this month. This is also starting to show the "new look": all interior illos by Gaughan, and with the next issue, he would do almost all covers and art for Galaxy and IF, giving them a very consistent and recognizable look.
