UNEARTH, THE MAGAZINE OF SCIENCE FICTION DISCOVERIES John M. Landsberg and Jonathan Ostrowsky-Lantz, eds. UNEARTH was the first publication devoted to new writers. The eighties were marked by the emergence of major talents UNEARTH discovered; the nineties are witnessing the continued expansion of their influence. Fewer than two hundred mint copies of each issue, never removed from the original printer's boxes, exist. Small imperfections can be found in some; the editors, with no financial backing, were concerned with finding and supporting new writers; inexpensive printing was mandatory. We hope you will relish the delight of experiencing the first works, in original settings, by writers who are now acknowledged masters. Each issue features a ``First Sale,'' a reprint of the first story by a major writer, along with a brand new introduction by that writer.
