It illustrates the three approaches of the most important editors in science fiction at the time (John W. Campbell of Astounding, Horace Gold of ''Galaxy Science Fiction'' and Anthony Boucher of ''The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction'') when rejecting a story. Campbell sent lengthy and turgid analyses, Gold sent abusive little notes, and Boucher’s rejection slips were so gentle that one wondered whether he was accepting the story or not.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.asimovreviews.net/Stories/Story319.html|title = Rejection Slips}}</ref>
