Examples

“LeZ plans, in the future, to print⟳ these Cullings regularly, from foreign fanmags, or American mags of small circulation, in the belief that you might otherwise not see⟳ the material.”

“Arthur Widner Jr., editor of the Strangers Club's FANFARE, is plugging the word "fanzines" to take⟳ the place⟳ of the Philadelphian's "fanag" and the usual "fanmag". Incidentally, FANFARE is the neatest, most legible, and cleanest of any hectographed fanzine I have⟳ yet seen. In two colors too, into the bargain.”

“The first issue⟳ of a fanmag from the southern-most post⟳ of Australian science fiction is good.”

“The advertising value of fanzines to promags is negligible, for the simple reason⟳ that anyone in sufficient contact⟳ with STF to read⟳ fanmags knows all about the prozines.”

“People who put⟳ out worthless fanmags and try⟳ and soak⟳ the unwary fan 25¢ for them, people who sell⟳ back issue⟳ magazines at outrageous prices, people who put⟳ out offset, super-duper printed professional type⟳ fanzines ... all give⟳ me a large pain in the neck.”
