Fandom is for the Young or One Convention Too Many is by Nana Grasmick and Karen Flanery.
It is "a non-fiction account of experiences of the early days of Star Trek fandom, being a fan, doing fanzines, attending conventions, getting autographs... For fear of reprisals, this privately published hardcover book carefully omits mentioning by name Star Trek and the actors." [1]
