Item description from seller

The format is approximately 8.125 inches by 11 inches. 32 pages. Illustrations. Advertisements. Some edge tears. Scarce surviving copy. Science Fiction Chronicle (later, just Chronicle) was an American science fiction magazine published from 1979 to 2006. It was named Science Fiction Chronicle until 2002 and from then until 2006, just Chronicle. It had subtitles such as the Monthly SF and Fantasy News Magazine and SF, Fantasy and Horror's Monthly Trade Journal. Science Fiction Chronicle was founded, and initially owned and published, by Andrew I. Porter. Science Fiction Chronicle began as a section of Porter's older magazine (fanzine), Algol, appearing there first in 1978. It became an independent publication with its issue #1 in October 1979. Porter sold Science Fiction Chronicle to DNA Publications in 2000 and was fired from it in 2002. Its last issue was #267 in June 2006. Among its articles, Science Fiction Chronicle published literary criticism, news, information related to fandom, interviews related to the genre, information on the science fiction literary market, and fiction. Its content included, among others, interviews with Michael Kandel, Michael Swanwick and George Zebrowski. Its contributors included Vincent Di Fate, Jo Fletcher, Harris Lentz III [Wikidata], Frederik Pohl, Jeff Rovin and Robert Silverberg. From 1982 to 1998 the Science Fiction Chronicle presented an award for achievements in the field of science fiction, in a number of categories. It was based on a reader's poll, similar to the Locus Award. Sources discussing the award refer to it variously as: the SF Chronicle Award, the Science Fiction Chronicle Readers Poll or the Science Fiction Chronicle Reader Award. In this issue there are articles referencing George Scithers, Frank Herbert, Philip K. Dick (obituary), Frederik Pohl, NormanSpinrad, Russ Galen, Paul Williams, and Fred Saberhagen.
