John Wood Campbell Jr. (June 8,1910 to July 11,1971) was an American sci-fi writer and sci-fi digest/magazine editor.As editor of 'Astounding Science Fiction' (later called 'Analog Science Fiction and Fact') from late 1937 until his death,he is generally credited with shaping the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Publishers Street & Smith was acquired by Samuel Newhouse, the owner of Condé Nast,in August 1959,and merged into Condé Nast at the end of 1961.Campbell finally achieved his goal of getting rid of the word 'Astounding' in the magazine's title,changing it to Analog Science Fact/Science Fiction. The / in the title was often replaced by a symbol of Campbell's devising, resembling an inverted U pierced by a horizontal arrow and meaning "analogous to". The change began with the February 1960 issue,and was complete by October; for several issues both 'Analog' and 'Astounding' could be seen on the cover,with 'Analog' becoming bolder and 'Astounding' fading with each issue. The British edition ran from August 1939 until August 1963, initially in pulp format,switching to digest from November,1953. The pulp issues began at 96pp,then dropped to 80pp with the March,1940 issue,and to 64pp in December that year.All the digest issues were 128 pages long.The price was 9d until October,1953; thereafter it was 1/6d until February 1961,and 2/6d until the end of the run.The material in the British editions was selected from the U.S. issues,most stories coming from a single U.S. number,and other stories picked from earlier or later issues to fill the magazine.The covers were usually repainted from the American originals.
