i recall reading several years ago that the small press
predated science fiction fanzines by about fifty years,
and that the first small press zines (in the sense most
of us are using the term) were apazines.
Apparently there were little hand-operated printing presses
marketed in the 1880s; people bought them, began printing
personal thoughts and news, and started collating them for
exchange.
There's a copy of the article somewhere in the house;
if i find it i'll provide a summary and references.

True enough, but this really was an outgrowth of the broadsides of the eighteenth century. --scott
