Whereas Page 14 normally is printed on green stock, with the backside cover blank, in the October issue the printer put Page 14 on white stock, with a blank backside and a green page, blank on both sides, after it. If any of you wondered if you missed anything, thank you for not writing us but be assured that the financial statement which appeared on Page 14 was, in fact, the last item which should have appeared in the October issue. And, just in case any of you should feel moved to write to us to say that you received only a single-sided photopage in the current issue, we can ad vise that it was planned this way. A single-sided photopage gives us a bit of a saving in price, and as there is only one known BANSHEE photograph, we thought that we could do the treasury a favour by not "padding" the photo page with additional but only marginally-related photos.
