NEW PUBLISHING SCHEDULE
Due to a mishap with our trusty publishing computer (which housed the vital software...) we must adjust the publishing schedule of First Class from Feb/Aug to May/Nov. Therefore, First Class #33 will hit the streets in November, 2009. I apologize for this adjustment and for keeping our contributors waiting in the wings. I promise to make it worth the wait. If you are jonesing for something to read, one of the last 32 issues from the past 13 years may suffice...

"First Class is a fandango of all sorts of things. Let's start with David Thornbrugh's "Selling Sex Toys to Canadians." This left me feeling rather unsettled. It was freakish, but funny. The same could be said for Alan Catlin's "Upstairs-Downstairs: The Wives," with an attractive gallows humor. I also liked Michael L. Newell's "Such A Parcel Of Rogues In A Nation" [and others] that were in the same vein of a stroll on the disgusting side of the street. This was the predominant sensibility in this issue. Hopefully it is the perpetual mindset of First Class. Editor Christopher M. has the right attitude. Reading First Class #23 put me in a jaundiced but bemused temper.
--- Arnold Skemer in Small Press Review
In this time of potential swelling darkness, with bogeymen around every corner, we must consider why and where beauty has fled, and how and where it can again renew itself, replenish itself, or, where action is needed to drag it out from under the gutters.
--- Christopher M., First Class #24, editor's note
