A mimeographed fifteen-cent fanzine from North Tonawanda, New York, amateur science-fiction enthusiasm, criticism, and community, straight from the grassroots of the genre.

This May 1953 issue of 'Fan-Fare,' edited by W. Paul Ganley, is a genuine artifact of golden-age SF fandom, full of the letters, reviews, and homemade spirit of the pulp-era faithful. A charming historical document. Read it for an authentic glimpse of science fiction's devoted amateur culture as it actually was.

In its time

Published in 1953, during the 1950s, post-war optimism meets cold war anxiety.
