This (really) is the last issue of IF, in an attempt to revive it a dozen years after it was folded into Galaxy. Planned for quarterly schedule - only this issue came out. Which is a pity - because it is very well done, with good illustrations and professional layout, and a decent line-up of authors for the revival.
