What's more interesting is why they reprinted this in HC in the 80's. While it's not universally agreed, this is the issue most cited as the beginning of the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Black Destroyer is the first Van Vogt story; Trends is Asimov's second story, and first in Astounding. The very next month has Heinlein's first published story, and the month after that has Sturgeon's first.

I'll stick with my copy of the original, but I highly encourage everybody else to give this scan a look... this issue through late 1942 are arguably the best, and most important, run of any science fiction magazine.
