I'd like first of all to get an overview of the paperback fantasy available in the States through 1969. I chose 1977 as the date for Fantasy being established as a publishers' niche, and that is a late date, but that's the date when Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant began to appear and when Brooks's Sword of Shannara was published.

On the other hand, before sometime in the second half of the 19 60s, fantasy was liable to be published more or less along with science fiction as if they were more or less the same thing. My impression is that by the late 1970s, American publishers had, for several years, come to distinguish fantasy from science fiction.
