Since the 1940s we’ve issued many special publications, including several full-size books. Below is a list of some of the publications available on this site to read or download in PDF form.
We also publish fanzines. Currently there are nine of these these. The National Fantasy Fan (TNFF), originally called “Bonfire”, has been published since June 1941. N’APA, our APA, was founded in 1959. Tightbeam (TB) (originally called “Hyperspace Tightbeam”) started in 1960. Other N3F zines include Ionisphere (author and fan interviews), Mangaverse (anime, comics, manga), Eldritch Science (fiction), Origin (fannish history and research), Films Fantasic (films), and The N3F Review of Books Incorporating Prose Bono. The available back issues may be seen under the drop-down list “N3F Fanzines”.
We are attempting to create a complete set of back issues in the form of electronic files. The support of readers in filling the gaps in our collection would be most appreciated. Please contact us at N3FPresident@TNFFF.org if you can help.
N3F Fandbooks
The word “fandbook” is a portmanteau, a combo of fan+handbook, and its purpose is exactly what it sounds like – pointers from veteran fans to new fans.
