1) Magazine Magazine Analog Science Fiction & Fact by Penny Press. They have always published the best writers and stories! I do not have a subscription now, because when I have had one, I never have time to read anything else! It is a great mind expander! I have held on to my old copies to pass on to my sons.¤

2) Magazine Magazine Analog Science Fiction & Fact by Penny Press. Where do I begin? This magazine has it all for fans of Sci-fi, the only periodical which can rival it is Asimov´s. But, if you´re like me, you like a combination of real science as well as the fiction, and Analog excels at bringing both to the reader. I always feel a sense of anticipation when opening up a new issue of Analog, it´s just so consistently good. If you´ve never tried Analog before, and love Sci-fi, I´d say get a copy today, or better yet, subscribe, you won´t be sorry.¤

3) Magazine Magazine Analog Science Fiction & Fact by Penny Press. I have been a regular subscriber of sci fi mags for just about the past 15 yrs or so. It all began with Omni and when Omni folded, I found a a copy of Science Fiction Age. I had been subscribed to it for about 2 years before it folded. I found a few Omni-like glossy mag twins thereafter, but they all folded as well. Finally, I found the magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and Analog and have been consistently subscribed to other for the past 10 yrs. Both of the latter are outstanding ´zines but for me, Analog is the best because it satisfies the craving for hard sci fi and *fact* at the same time. If F&SF & Analog ever have to close up shop then I would hope they would merge because then I´d have my hard sci fi, fact *and* horror/fantasy all in a one stop shop.¤

4) Magazine Magazine Analog Science Fiction & Fact by Penny Press. Analog brings a dependable collection of hard-science fiction stories, novellas, and frequently, a serialized novel. Almost all of them are worth reading; I´m having trouble thinking of an Analog story that made me give up before reaching the end. While its sister publication Asimov´s tends more to the social-SF or more literary forms, Analog sticks to a formula of hard-SF with some recurring features: one factual science article, one speculative science article, and a short SF humor piece (Probability Zero). Analog also has a lively letters column, where editor Stanley Schmidt or the story authors often reply. And Schmidt´s editorials are always a good read.

Some of the factual science articles well-compliment the stories, some just don´t have any relation (and if I skip anything in Analog, it´s some of the drier fact pieces). Some excellent write-ups such as a comparison between long-term weather data and historical regime changes could lead to several future stories in the magazine.

Dependable, high-quality, and enjoyable.

One change in publication not mentioned here: both Analog and Asimov´s have gone to 10 issues a year from 11, with 2 "double issues" instead of one per year. The double issue is always a treat but then one must wait 2 months for the next regular issue!¤

5) Magazine Magazine Analog Science Fiction & Fact by Penny Press. I haven´t actually read Analog for about 20 years, but it was my introduction to science fiction very nearly 40 years ago, when I shared a flat (sorry, must use American, an appartment) in New York with one of John W. Campbell´s editorial assitants! Since then, the genre has provided education, solace, amusement - and some disdain from others - and I despair at how few really good new English SF writers there seem to be. However, anyone (and I do mean anyone) who tries Analog with an open mind will find it a revelation.¤

6) Magazine Magazine Analog Science Fiction & Fact by Penny Press. For over 65 years, Analog has provided an unbeatable combination of stimulating fiction stories, provocative editorials, and fascinating science-fact articles, all solidly rooted in science fact. Explore the boundaries of the imagination beginning at the frontiers of actual scientific research.¤
