[Ads-l] Further Antedating of "Sci-Fi"

[Shapiro, Fred]

sci-fi (OED 1954, Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction 1954)

1953 Cue [Volume 22, Issues 1-26, Page 15] (Google Books)

This is the kind of fantastic problem scifiads love, and its solution provides a fine scifi-drama, a considerable cut above the usual.  I found it an interesting experience in the too rarely developed field of cerebral thrillers.

NOTE: I discovered this in a Google Books snippet.  The snippet does not indicate the exact date or exact issue number, but this is clearly a 1953 citation.
