It is published quarterly by the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), for $15/yr. To subscribe, write to The Skeptical Inquirer, Box 229, Central Park Station, Buffalo, NY, 14215. The Committee includes professional magicians as well as scientists and philosophers, since only experts at deception and entertainment are really able to examine claims where so much money can be made by popular psychics, astrologers, UFO propagandists, etc. The Inquirer also carries book reviews (which can be very interesting) and a regular column on pseudoscience in the news. Among its Fellows are L. Sprague de Camp, Isaac Asimov, and Martin Gardner.
