Cheers, Bill. Thanks for saying that. I'd been going to dig out a pile of
british zine reviews of the sf persuasion (including refs to Hansen's fan
histories).

There was a suggestion in a copy of Foundation a few years ago (from 4SJ or
Sam Lundwall, forget which ;-) that zines and apas in part developed from the
crazy antics of printers' apprentices...

Steve Glover (amongst other sins, editor of Matrix, the news zine of the
British Science Fiction Association ... information- and zine hungry at all
times... we always carry fanzine reviews)
