True Mystic Science [v 2 #4, July 1939] ed. C. A. Randall (Continental News; Minneapolis, MN, 25¢, 68pp, large) The photo on the back is comparable to the entries in present-day FT “Simulacra Corner” — e.g. natural phenomena (tree branches and foliage in this case) which bear close accidental resemblance to people or things — but unsurprisingly TMS is pushing this photo (from 1927) as miraculous rather than accidental. [DKL]

True Story Magazine UK version of the US True Story, which was the first of the so-called “confessions” magazines. Stories were purportedly true and hence were uncredited. An unusual feature of the magazine is that each story is prefixed by a “Reading Time” - to the nearest second!
