MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION: BRITISH EDITION - MAY 1966
(F&SF began 12 years after HPL's death in 1949, and competed against Astounding and Galaxy but was more on the adult end of the S.F. market. )
Chrispy always liked the covers, very imaginative and often - in those days - had a NASA, far away look to them, like this cover does.
This one's Lovecraft conenction is an eighteen page profile of H.P.Lovecraft by J.Vernon Shea. Unfortunately, it is not in Chrispy's collection, so the text is unavailable.
The rest of the issue is filled with lower tier luminaries, with the sometimes breakout Ron Goulart. Asimov and Merrill usually had the science column (Asimov was always witty and profound) and book reviews.
Asimov is allegedly famous for his revile of Lovecraft, though it was years before I heard of it. Of course, in 1966 I barely knew the name Lovecraft - it was only about 2002 my passion for his work became incindiary.
