You have been sitting by your mailbox for almost two years, patiently waiting for the long promised super-issue of ANOMALY. Well, everything is going to hell these days and poor Anomaly, alas, is done gone. Rapidly rising costs, paper shortages and many other dreary problems have beset us. Anomaly has been killed by the 20th century. If you sent us more than one envelope they will be returned to you with this miserable little four-paged flier. Don't send any more envelopes, please.
We hope, however, that you will continue to send us clippings and reports from your area. As most of you know, we write a regular Fortean column for Saga magazine and will continue to grind out books and articles until the C.I.A. steal away our typewriter. On top of our regular chores we are also assuming the editorship of Pursuit, the official journal of the Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained (S.I.T.U.), founded by the late Ivan T. Sanderson. Pursuit is a quarterly magazine brimming over with the latest news on UFOs, the Abominable Snowman, the Loch Ness Monster, and many other subjects of Fortean interest. If you are not already a member of S.I.T.U. we recommend that you send ten dollars ($10) to the address below. You will receive a membership card, Pursuit and inside info on what's happening in the wonderful world of the unbelievable. S.I.T.U. maintains one of the world's largest libraries of Forteana and the massive files collected by Ivan Sanderson and other leaders in the field. All of this material will be placed at your fingertips. The S.I.T.U. staff (all volunteers) will research specific items for you and answer your queries. If you happen to be passing through the northeast, give them advance notice and you can visit S.I.T.U. headquarters, use the library, and enjoy the camaraderie of other Forteans.
The address is: Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained, Columbia, N.J. 07832
Finally, we move about a good deal... Washington, D.C. one year, Woodstock, N.Y. the next. But our "permanent address" for the past ten years has been our NYC P.O. Box. Please use it exclusively. Letters sent to Saga or our book publishers usually reach us months later... when they reach us at all.
Thank you for all your help and support in the past. We hope you will continue to correspond with us, send us clippings, and follow our misguided career in the pages of Saga and Pursuit.
