Ethel Lindsay (after previous editor Joan Carr was revealed as a hoax); Jean Young, Miriam Carr, Pam Bulmer, Betty Kujawa, Joy Clarke, and almost every female fan of the day, plus locs. And VOID. Not Ted's zine, but the earlier British fanzine of the same title – ed George Clements, 1952. Contains Dave Wood on the Junior Fanatics. And finally BASTION 2, another Liverpool Group fmz from 1960. 3. YANKEE PAIR MOTA 17, ed Terry Hughes, summer 1976. Possibly the finest fannish fmz of the 1970s. Special 'Fanartists Write' issue, superb Harry Bell cover, articles by Dan Steffan and Grant Canfield (this last particularly glorious, on his life as a would-be professional cartoonist). And from 1982, John D Berry's WING WINDOW 2, smashing little zine with a column for all you mirrorshade types. 4. SPECULATION Lot. Peter Weston's classic fanzine, sercon but never without humour or the personal Weston touch. Numbers: 19 (September 1968, long Moorcock column), 24 (September 1969, 'Heinlein After 30 Years' symposium), 25 (January 1970, Bergeron cover, Moorcock and Chris Priest columns), 26 (May 1970, Priest, David Masson and Fred Pohl), 28 (January 1971, Pohl, Panshin, Benford, Offutt, Priest), 30 (Spring 1972, Brunner on writing, Bob Rickard on James Blish).

Find out here with... Prolapse #2, August 1983, ed Pete Weston. Pete reports on a Brum Group barbecue. Art by Steve Green and David Hardy, good letters. And Inca #1, ed Rob Jackson. Rare serious cover by D West, Alan Dorey savages fanzines, Jackson editorialises. 6. INCA 1. Another copy, wrapped ready to mail. At buyer's discretion we will actually mail it out to you, 30 years late, and you can enjoy the anticipation of waiting for it to arrive in the mail like fanzines used to! 7. MAYA Lot. Issues 7 to 15 of Rob Jackson's classic 1970s fanzine, with far more good stuff than this margin can easily contain. 8. WARHOON Lot. Dick Bergeron's equally classic fannish fanzine. Three issues; #27, September 1970, with a superb column imagining fans of the day running the TV shows, plus Bob Shaw, Harry Warner, and Alva Rogers' memoirs of slanshack “Tendril Towers”. #29, October 1981; Warner again, Walt Willis, Tom Perry, and a cast of thousands in the letters boggling at #28 (which sadly is not part of this lot; buy it from NESFA.org.) And #30, September 1982; Langford TAFF report, Bergeron slams Chris Priest, Ted White slams D West, D slams right on back, Patrick Nielsen Hayden comments blow by blow. 86 superb pages; alas, Bergeron's last stand before spectacular and critical marble loss. 9. NOISE LEVEL Lot 1. John Brunner's OMPAzine. #7, 9 and 10 from the late 1950s.

Great fan, great reading. 12. BY BRITISH.

With two copies of VIEWS IN SF, #5 and #6 from 1952, the Baltimore SF group's zine with articles by Walter Miller and poetry by Charlotte Perkins (“Herland”) Gilman. 25. UTOPIAN Lot.

I, Sandra Bond, COMMAND you to bid on this fanzine and find out who Greg named. Okay? 27. NIEKAS. Ed. by Ed Meskys. #9 and #10, 1964.

Good grief, Charlie Brown. You have all been very, very generous in bringing Good Stuff for auction, and we at Corflu are duly grateful. Looking at the above, it is immediately obvious that there is far more stuff to be sold than we shall ever be able to get through in an hour; therefore, if there is any particular lot in which you have an interest, please advise me (Sandra Bond) before the auction begins, and I'll try to make sure that the auctioneers prioritise that lot.

Anything that we don't have time for... well, we'll have to see. It may be donated forward to the next Corflu, whenever or wherever it is; or we may carry on some kind of online auction for whatever remaining Good Stuff there is; or we may find some other solution entirely. You will find out through the Usual Channels.
