Comments on the issue: Tanith Lee, again. The authors claim they get so many good stories from her (they can't bear to turn them down) that they needed to do another issue devoted to her just to use them up. No way that can be considered bad. But the paper isn't as good this issue.  This issue is 84 pages including glossy paper covers, with a color front cover. Size is 8 1/2 X 11 inches.
