Written by the well-known Trek fan Joan Marie Verba, the subtitle of Boldly Writing: A Trekker Fan and Zine History, 1967 - 1987 says it all: It's a history of Star Trek fan activities from 1967 to 1987.
The author writes in a colloquial style, drops as many names as she could possibly remember, and lists all of the conventions she went to (or got flyers for). As a result, this book was the single best source for zine details and history (who published it, how many issues, whether it's all Trek, etc.) that Trek fandom had for many, many years.
