From John Carnell’s Introduction
Phil High’s Routine Exercise, for instance, was nearly turned down when originally submitted, because of its over-familiar plot – yet its publication brought in more enthusiastic correspondence than any other story or serial for months. No editor is completely infallible on the choice of stories, of course.
