Editor Edward L. Ferman says compiling the annual collections for The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction was a pleasant task until he had to make a memorial tribute to Anthony Boucher, who was co-founder and first editor of the magazine. He died before the August 1968 issue. Ferman says the magazine has always been open to new ideas. He intends to continue this.
