It is with deep pride and humility that we bring you this, our fifth-anniversary issue. It is the rare fanzine that reaches this ripe old age, and even rarer when one attains its fifth-anniversary issue without ever having been late with an issue.
Basking in the glory of our achievement, we bring you this special celebration issue, which is being given a limited circulation among FAPA, OMPA and a few special friends. It is priceless, despite the numeral on the cover, which is a condescention to modern conventions.
While on the subject of conventions, we want to mention those other interesting publications, the prozines, and compliment them on their continued attempts to gain success in their chosen fields. Good Luck, Fellas! Stick with it, work hard, and don't be disappointed! You'll make it, if you try! (This goes double for those two stalwart editors who are already on Five-Yearly's mailing list. If the rest were as astute as you fellows, they might be better able to fill their mags with good material and make the grade in the commercial world.)
---- The Editor
(Who prefers to remain nameless)
