The court procedure to transfer Jack's copyright is still slowly moving along, and there is no news about any results. I am assuming that this matter is right at the bottom of the priority pile, and we might be lucky to get some results sometime in the next decade.

I have located a couple of US published copies of "By Space Ship to the Moon" with the space man cover, in reasonable condition. Most of the US issues used the space ship cover, and the space man cover was mainly used on publications in France and Britain. I am not sure of the reason for the variation of covers - publication details inside both of the US issues are identical. The two covers are shown below.

I have also acquired two issues of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine which contain reviews of "By Space Ship to the Moon" and "Rockets, Jets, Guided Missiles and Space Ships". I have received one, and when the second issue arrives, I will show the reviews on the website.
