English: Inside Front Cover and Table Of Contents, Science Fiction Stories No. 2, 1954. Verifies publication of "The Turning Wheel" by Philip K. Dick in this issue of this magazine. Illustrates publication of stories by many notable SF authors in context of publishing era and presentation to readers of era. Inside front cover has profiles of Algis Budrys, Theodore R. Cogswell, Philip K. Dick and Milton Lesser (best known by pen name, Steven Marlowe) who were all still new authors at the time. This was the second of two issues published in 1954 under the title Science Fiction Stories by Columbia Publishing which was experimenting with a digest size magazine instead of the larger pulp size. Both issues were confusingly copyrighted as Science Fiction Quarterly which was a different Columbia Publishing SF magazine.

I searched the Copyright Catalog for copyright renewals of every story in this magazine and determined this magazine was copyrighted under Registration Number B00000473931 from the only story renewed (In Human Hands by Algis Budrys) which showed B00000473931 as original Registration Number. I searched for Registration Number B00000473931 and the only other renewal was a work by L. Sprague de Camp which appeared in the magazine with the cover title of Science Fiction Quarterly (see Description above). The pages in this image are in the public domain because because their copyright was not renewed.
