AUGURIES 3 – 1985

Cover – first wraparound cover: by Nik Morton
(A5, stapled, 56pp, 50p)

Getting into the computer age now! Hereafter, not produced for or with the SHSF Group. I typed the stories up on the ship’s primitive wordprocessor and I must admit that the finished pages were not very attractive. And probably for costing reasons I moved printer to a printer in Nottingham (I lived in Fareham, Hants at the time).
