Rather than buy one issue for $2.99, for a total of
$3.99 you can buy a 4-issue subscription.
Check back on this post for the word '
ADDED', and I'll have a recommendation. Keep in mind that I'm partial to old mystery-and-detective novels. Each issue has [almost] always 2 full novels, and sometimes 3 novels in each issue, along with a host of short stories and a novella or two.
ADDED:
This is the latest issue, but I have to read it. I enjoy Frank Kane's novels, and this issue includes one. Here's the intro to this issue, which hopefully will provide some interesting information for you:
"...This time he has selected original mysteries from Bev Vincent and Stacy Woodson. Rounding out the section, we have a Bryce Walton Hollywood crime story and a Frank Kane mystery novel (featuring detective Johnny Liddell). Plus, of course, a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
"On the science fiction side, we have an anti-war story from Richard Wilson, a UFO story from Paul Torak, a rather silly science fiction/detective story from Noel Loomis, and a time-travel tale from Lester del Rey. Plus a pre-Golden Age science fiction novel from oldtime master Ray Cummings: The Man on the Meteor, which appeared in Science and Invention in 1924, two years before Amazing Stories and the genre of science fiction were launched!"
