EDMONDSON, G.C. (pp. 370-1): Died 1995.
EDWARDS, DAVID (p. 371): Born 1945.
EDWARDS, MALCOLM (JOHN) (p. 371): Omitted are Constellations (anth 1980), which assembles juvenile sf, and Gollancz/Sunday Times SF Competition Stories (anth 1985), which he edited anonymously, assembling the best material from that competition.

ELDERSHAW, M. BARNARD (p. 374): Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow was the authors' original title, unilaterally shortened by the publisher.

ELLIOT, E.C. (p. 375): Died 1971.
ELLIOT, JOHN (HERBERT) (p. 375): Died 1997. Note addition of middle name.

HE received a Hugo Award in 1967 for the dramatic presentation of The City on the Edge of Forever and he shared half of a Hugo for the Best Dramatic Presentation of A Boy and His Dog 1976. The book edition of The City at the Edge of Forever was a fotonovel. The Book of Ellison (anth 1978) was "unauthorized." "I Have no Mouth, and I must Scream" should have a comma, thus.
ERSKINE, THOMAS (p. 387): The date of Armata: A Fragment is controversial – it is is (1816) or (1817). Both it and The Second Part of Armata (1817) are most commonly found bound together in various printings which are all dated (1817).
ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES (p. 388): Edward Gorey's dates are 1925-2000.

FANCHER, JANE S(UZANNE) (p. 402): JSF was credited with artwork on #13-#16 of the Elfquest comic-book series by Wendy and Richard Pini, published by Donning Starblaze; her name was removed from the credits of the revised graphic-novel version issued by Marvel Epic.
FANTASY PRESS (p. 411): Fantasy Press did not fold in 1955, but continued to sell stock through 1958, nor did it sell stock to GNOME PRESS, but to Donald M. Grant Publisher.
FANTHORPE, R. L. (pp. 412-414): Delete Noel Bertram from list of pseudonyms. RLF's usual payment for a 45,000 word MS was in fact £22.50 (then £22 10s 0d).
FARMER, PHILIP JOSÉ (pp. 417-419): PJF did not write Fantastic Voyage II (1985). The words "set in a colony of ATLANTIS" should be deleted from the description of Time's Last Gift.
FEARN, JOHN (FRANCIS) RUSSELL (pp. 422-423): Operation Venus appeared under JRF's own name, not as by Vargo Statten.

FELICE, CYNTHIA (p. 423): first story was 1977, not 1976. [BW]

FINLAND (pp. 428-429): Another Kalevala-based sf sequence is Ian WATSON's Books of MANA.
FINLAY, VIRGIL (WARDEN) (p. 429): Spurious cross-reference to Donald M. Grant, who has no entry.

FINNEY, JACK (p. 429): Died 1995.
FIRTH, N. WESLEY (p. 431): His first genre story was almost certainly "Obscene Parade" (1946 Weird Story Magazine). He wrote the entire contents of FUTURISTIC STORIES (1946) and STRANGE ADVENTURES (1946/47).
FISCHER, LEONARD (p. 431): Born ?1903. Died ?1974.
FISK, NICHOLAS (p. 431): The Model Village is (1990 chap).
FLASH GORDON (pp. 432-434): Changing the setting from Mongo to Mars in Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars (1938) cannot be explained by the popularity of Orson Welles' radio broadcast of WAR OF THE WORLDS, since the film preceded the broadcast by more than six months.
FLINT, HOMER EON (p. 435): Correct birth date is 1888.
FOGLIO, PHIL: It has been plausibly suggested that this comics artist (who won Hugos in 1977 and 1978 as Best Fan Artist) should have received an entry, especially on the basis of his Buck Godot comics, indubitably sf. He also scripted some of the Dynamo Joe series in First Comics.
FONTENAY, CHARLES L(OUIS) (pp. 436-437): CLF is not inactive in the field.

On page 447 in further reading, "Mosaïques" is misspelled "Mosàïques".
FRANCIS, RICHARD H. (p. 448): Omitted sf title – The Whispering Gallery (1984) features an invention which links a virus to a bacterium, offering a means of translating cheap material into fuel.
FRANKE, HERBERT W(ERNER) (p. 448): Fahrt zum Licht: Utopische Kurzgeschichten ["Journey to Light: Utopian Short Stories"] is coll 1963. In Other Works, Ein Kyborg namens Joe ["A Cyborg Named Joe"] should be coll 1978. Sirius Transit was as by Sergius Both. Paradies 3000 ["Paradise 3000"] should be coll 1981.

FUTRELLE, JACQUES (p. 456): August S.F.X. Van Dusen should be Augustus S.F.X. Van Dusen.
FUTURE FICTION (p. 456): Charles D. HORNIG was the editor from Nov 1939 to Nov 1940, not Apr 1941 as indicated, and Robert A.W. LOWNDES was editor from Apr 1941 (not Aug 1941) through Apr 1960.

GANTZ, KENNETH F(RANKLIN) (p. 472): Born 1908. Died 1980.

The No-Sided Professor collects sf, fantasy and other stories; the description "in a similar vein" is misleading.
GARTH (p. 476): Garth used the magic word "karma" to jump bodies (and episodes) at the point of death. It is Angus Allan not Angus Allen. Steve Dowling's dates are (1904-1986); he retired in 1969, not 1968. The Daily Mirror published more than 3 collections: other earlier books are Garth – Man of Mystery (graph 1946) and Garth (1958 graph dos).

Muller titles identified as being by JG are Space Void (1960; 1965 US as by Marston Johns), Edge of Eternity (1962), Night of the Big Fire (1962) and – almost certainly – In the Beginning (1962). Space Void is actually a reprint of JG's Dawn of the Half-Gods as by Victor La Salle. JG's total output was 250 novels in all genres.
GODS AND DEMONS (pp. 500-503): The reference to the Dune sequence conflates the "maimed" Paul Atreides of Dune Messiah (1969) with his son Leto, who is "transformed" in Children of Dune (1976) and further in God-Emperor of Dune (1981).

HANSEN, L. TAYLOR (p. 541): apparently her first story "The Undersea Tube" was (1929) not (1928), and may have been simultaneous with "What The Sodium Lines Revealed" (1929 ASQ), which is cited by others as her first.

HUGO (pp. 595-600): The 1966 Dramatic Presentation result was another "no award". In 1963 and 1971, the No Award option gained the most votes in the final ballot; in 1966 it had such overwhelming support at the nominations stage that the category was omitted from the final ballot. • The 1988 experiment Other Forms was a precursor of the eventual broadening of the Nonfiction category (from the 2000 Hugos onward) to Related Book.
