"Astounding Science-Fiction" (British Edition), August 1939 (magazine, free): Annotated table of contents & review
Three rather well-known stories here - "The Blue Giraffe", "Heavy Planet", & "Life-Line".
Where I've read a story, my rating appears in brackets. Where I have a separate post on a story, link on story title goes there. Link on an author's name fetches more fiction by author.
No mention of editor's name on Toc page (but it's probably John Campbell).

Note: Link fetches a RAR file that contains target CBR, probably to work around file the naming constraints of hosting service.
Related: Fiction from Astounding/Analog (whole issues only); old pulps; 1930s.
