It has come to our attention that unscrupulous black marketeers have been retailing copies of CHEAP TRUTH at astronomical prices, some going as high as twelve to thirteen cents. The situation is especially bad in Eastern Bloc countries, where the CHEAP TRUTH distribution network has been penetrated by KGB and Bulgarian agents provocateurs, who take advantage of desperate shortages of SF criticism to hike the underground price from one American cigarette to as high as two or even three.

We suggest therefore that readers who cannot get pirated copies (or who cannot access the samizdata On-Line edition on SMOF-BBS, 512-836-7663) write directly to the CHEAP TRUTH offices, sending a dollar with their address and nom de guerre (or nom de telematique). New issues will be forthcoming.
