An original anthology collecting nine stories by Grace Amundson, Will F. Jenkins, Willard Temple, Wibur Schramm, D.V. Gallery, Noel Langley, Gerald Kersh, Conrad Richter and Paul Gallico.

US weekly family magazine, and the foremost periodical, in the eyes of many, for representing the American way of life through its features and articles. Treated as a Slick magazine, it was never a formal slick in the sense of the hefty glossy women’s magazines full of fashion and aimed at the women’s market. It was a fairly thick tabloid that was often two-thirds advertisements and by 1948 had become the weekly reading matter of over 10% of America’s adult population. It was regarded by writers as the leading market for fiction and the holy grail amongst writers for the Pulp magazines. If they sold to the Post then they had made it. This is why it became so newsworthy in the science-fiction field when Robert A. Heinlein sold several stories to the magazine starting in 1947.
