The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, later Fantasy and Science Fiction (and often referred to as just F&SF), is a digest-size speculative-fiction magazine first published as a quarterly in 1949 by Mystery House and as a bi-monthly by Fantasy House (1950-1958). Both houses were subsidiaries of Lawrence Spivak's Mercury Publications. In 1958, responsibility for the publication of the magazine was taken on by Mercury Press. In October 2001, Gordon Van Gelder bought the magazine from Mercury. He subsequently moved its offices from New York to New Jersey and published it through his newly formed company Spilogale Inc. Today, the magazine is the world's second-longest-running science-fiction magazine, surpassing Amazing Stories in total number of issues published and exceeded only by Astounding/Analog.
