Galaxy, January 1952 Retro-Review

My latest retro-review of Galaxy's January, 1952 issue is up at Black Gate: http://www.blackgate.com/2014/08/03/galaxy-science-fiction-january-1952-a-retro-review/.  The issue includes part 1 of Alfred Bester's "The Demolished Man," which won the first Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1953.  It's not difficult to find a lot of these stories online, but it's also not expensive to buy the original magazines, especially if you don't care about condition.  This classic magazine has a lot of excellent writing within.  I highly encourage purchasing a copy if you happen across one.
