  • A question about the big three

    From James Nicoll@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 23 18:06:46 2023
    When I read SF magazines, F&SF was single column while Asimov's
    and Analog were double column. Additionally, some of them broke
    stories up within the magazine, presenting the first part of
    the stories early in the magazine and later parts towards
    the back. Is that still the case?

    (I am thinking of reviewing some magazines and am chosing between
    epub or paper)

    Analog is double column throughout. Asimov's and F&SF are single column
    for fiction and double column for features (i.e., book reviews,
    editorial, science column, etc.). I don't remember much continuation to
    later pages recently. The electronic copies of those magazines that I
    have are pretty much replicas of the paper editions (some exceptions, especially for interior artwork).
