Isn't a "paperback magazine" just what Knight was doing with his _Orbit_
series a decade earlier?

The _Orbit_ series just had stories. The _Destinies_ series had book
reviews and essays as well.

Orbit got some magazine-like qualities later on, I think, but Knight
sold it as anthologies, which meant it had longer shelf-life than
Destinies issues did.

Evergreen Review seems the canonical example, though non-SF.
