Research History
Fred Galvin submitted a 1948 cite from a review in Startling Stories.Jesse Sheidlower submitted several cites, including a 1941 reference to FAPA #18 in a 1944 FAPA index at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/FAPA_Mailings/FAPA3007.pdf; there are bibilographical and dating discrepancies, but we would like to track down this example from a 1941 source.
Jesse Sheidlower subsequently found a copy of the original 1941 FAPA document.
