Could I prevail upon your space in order to make the following appeal? The Editors of the Review Here and Now have asked me to assist in the raising of its circulation and I feel that numbers of your readers may be potential subscribers. Here and Now is just recovering from a recent lapse but it still needs support in order to consolidate its position.

It is a monthly review published in Auckland by the Pelorus Press, devoted to vigorous writing and criticism, its policy is one of free expression to all shades of opinion, and should not be allowed to go under through neglect. This, of course, is the old, old story with N.Z. literary magazines, but in this case it should not be allowed to happen, for the periodical has a definite significance and value.

People who normally support this journal by buying a single copy should think again. When a magazine is making its debut lump capital is what is required, and not just a few bob dribbling in now and then. Money is needed now and this is best gained by subscription; you will be making an investment in an organ of free expression. Pitifully few sane organs exist in this South Pacific sheep run, and when enlightened people have one, they should help to preserve it.

The annual sub is £1/1/-, post free. Get an extra copy each month—you can easily resell it. If you have not already seen Here and Now look it up in the bookshops. Act immediately—your support is needed now: Subscription address:
