Scope and Contents

Teal Triggs contributes an essay on British small magazines (fanzines). She states that the term fanzine was first coined by Russ Chauvenet in the United States in 1941 to describe mimeographed publications devoted primarily to science fiction and super hero comic enthusiasts. Today, it has come to mean a periodical that embraces any subject faithful to the specific interests of the "fans." Frances Butler contributes an essay, "New Demotic Typography: The Search for New Indices." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
