Apricot File was a British magazine catering to users of early Apricot Computers microcomputer systems. It was based in London, published by TP Group and edited throughout its lifetime by Dennis Jarrett. The magazine was in circulation between 1985 and 1988. [1]
There were 36 issues, all in A4 format: the first, called Release 1.1, was dated October 1985 and the last, Release 3.12, was undated but appeared in September or October 1988. [2] Contents included consumer reviews of Apricot hardware and software, and technical advice on programming for Apricots. David Langford regularly contributed The Disinformation Column from Release 1.2 (November 1985) until the final issue. Other regular contributors were: Edward N Bromhead, Henry Deckhand (a pseudonymous cynic), Lindsay Doyle, Roger Gann, Paul N Humphreys, Garreth Keogh, Kathy Lang, Paul Lavin, Simon Potter, David St. John-Wallis and Mark Whitehorn.
Dennis Jarrett's farewell editorial (The Last Word) noted that Apricot File subscribers were being steadily lost "to the beckoning lure of IBM-compatibility."

The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction is a U.S. fantasy and science fiction magazine first published in 1949 by Fantasy House, a subsidiary of Lawrence Spivak's Mercury Press. Editors Anthony Boucher and J. Francis McComas had approached Spivak in the mid-1940s about creating a fantasy companion to Spivak's existing mystery title, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. The first issue was titled The Magazine of Fantasy, but the decision was quickly made to include science fiction as well as fantasy, and the title was changed correspondingly with the second issue. F&SF was quite different in presentation from the existing science fiction magazines of the day, most of which were in pulp format: it had no interior illustrations, no letter column, and text in a single column format, which in the opinion of science fiction historian Mike Ashley "set F&SF apart, giving it the air and authority of a superior magazine".

Satellite Science Fiction was an American science-fiction magazine published from October 1956 to April 1959 by Leo Margulies' Renown Publications. Initially, Satellite was digest sized and ran a full-length novel in each issue with a handful of short stories accompanying it. The policy was intended to help it compete against paperbacks, which were taking a growing share of the market. Sam Merwin edited the first two issues; Margulies took over when Merwin left and then hired Frank Belknap Long for the February 1959 issue. That issue saw the format change to letter size, in the hope that the magazine would be more prominent on newsstands. The experiment was a failure and Margulies closed the magazine when the sales figures came in.
