History

The first issue of Vector was published in 1958 under the editorship of E. C. Tubb.[2] The magazine was established as an irregular newsletter for members of the BSFA, founded in the same year, but "almost at once it began to produce reviews and essays, polemics and musings, about the nature and state of science fiction."[3]

The magazine has changed format and periodicity many times over the years.[4] It currently focuses on articles and interviews, and is published "two to three times per year."[5]

gollark: At this point it might actually be cheaper to just get an identical replacement model, since the company making the phone seems to have run into financial troubles recently and thus sell the same phones at dirt-cheap prices.
gollark: Well, I don't know where to get replacement USB-C ports for it, too.
gollark: I think *most* just have it soldered to the mainboard?
