This is the sixth issue of White Dwarf and that means effectively a year of publication — with many more to come we hope. Time usually brings change and White Dwarf is no exception to the rule.
Firstly, would everybody please note that we have moved our editorial office to 1 Dulling Road, Hammersmith, London W6, and all correspondence should be sent to that address from now on.
Secondly, we would like to remind all those people who began their subscription to White Dwarf with issue 1 that renewals are now due. Now here's the bad news; the price has increased to 60p per issue as from issue 7 to keep in line with rising print and paper costs. A small contribution is also needed to cover postage and packing so the annual subscription will now be £4.00.
Thirdly, and here's the good news, we are pleased to announce two improvements with respect to the appearance of White Dwarf. This issue, as you might have noticed, contains justified text which means no more jagged right-hand margins. Next issue will be the first to have the luxury of a full colour cover and for that we hope to obtain the talents of John Blanche who is renowned for his colour art.
No doubt in another twelve months' time more changes will be announced. We try to give readers what they want but we are always open to suggestions as to how to keep on improving White Dwarf. If you have any interesting contri butions, comments or criticisms, why not send them in? It all helps.
