1946 April, Wilson "Bob" Tucker, Bloomington News-letter, page 1:Sample fanzine advertisement attached; same obtainable free from B.T. for any fan-ed wishing to run them.
1961 August, Walter Alexander Willis, “Black Mail”, in Willis Papers:This British peculiarity, this psychopathic abhorrence for open spaces in fanzines, has been remarked on by many people but until this moment nobody has explained the real reason for it. It is not meanness, nor the high cost of paper, nor any obvious cause like that. It is simply that every British faned walks in the shadow of fear, knowing himself to be a hunted man, a law-breaker, an enemy of society. He is the victim of a guilt complex that compels him to shun the free wide spaces beloved of US faneds and to crowd his materiel into a confined space as if huddling together for protection.
1995 September 11, Lindsay Crawford, “Re: All Knowledge Is Cont”, in rec.arts.sf.fandom (Usenet), message-ID <[email protected]>:A lot of crap passes through here that no decent faned would pub, while some of the traffic is meant to be playful or argumentive in a high volume, rapid turnover way, what you might call ephemeral, entertainment today, written over tomorrow.
