GALILEO

GALILEO
   US BEDSHEET-size magazine. 16 issues Sep 1976-Jan 1980, with \#11/12, May 1979, being a double issue. Planned as quarterly, but bimonthly to Sep 1978, then irregular, with the last 4 issues bimonthly. Published by Avenue Victor Hugo, Boston, Massachusetts; ed Charles C. RYAN.Published on a small budget, G hoped to survive through subscription sales rather than newsstand distribution. 8000 copies of \#1 were printed and sold. In magazine terms this is small, but the circulation steadily increased, at least initially. Printed on cheap newsprint, and using a number of stories by little-known writers, G began quietly but showed signs of improvement by \#3. The great Renaissance scientist was evoked in the title because G was planned to emulate his "indomitable spirit . . . (and) undying quest for knowledge". Almost half of G, like most 1970s sf magazines, was devoted to science-fact articles, reviews, interviews etc. Contributors included Brian W. ALDISS, Ray BRADBURY (poetry), Robert CHILSON, Hal CLEMENT (science fact), John KESSEL, Connie WILLIS and Larry NIVEN, thelatter with a serialization of The Ringworld Engineers (1979; 1980). G became quite a good magazine, but perished because of distribution problems.
