True Mystic Science [v 1 #4, March 1939] ed. R. T. Maitland Scott, Jr. (Continental News; Minneapolis, MN, 25¢, 68pp, large) pagination runs from 103-166, not counting covers; 101-168 if covers are counted. The previous issue’s pagination stopped at 82 (or 84 counting covers, as TMS apparently did in the pagination of the earlier issues, where the first text page was p.3). There’s no explanation of why the jump from page 84 to page 101; certainly neither issue appears to be defective; maybe It’s A Mystical Thing. [DKL]

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.

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!
