In 1978, mutual friend Ion Will introduced Rickard to Paul Sieveking, who recalls that "the Forteans used to meet every Tuesday afternoon above the science-fiction bookshop Dark They Were And Golden-Eyed in Soho, a shop run by Derek Stokes, to open post and interact. (Indeed, this was the semi-official address of "FT" until that shop closed. With #35, Summer '81 the address was changed.) Sieveking joined the "FT" team with #28 as co-associate editor, and writes, highlighting the intrinsic early difficulties in printing "FT" that that issue "was printed by an Israeli entrepreneur in northern Greece and shipped to London." That issue (#28), bearing a cover blurb of "Strange Phenomena", featured an early advert for the bookshop Dark They Were And Golden-Eyed, drawn by Bryan Talbot, while the editorial promised that the "next" issue would not only see the availability of Index 1976, but be in a "larger and more professional format, typeset throughout, better graphics, layout and legibility."
