For Your Information Azine was an adzine published by Jan Keeler.

The zine's focus was print fanzines, where to buy them, what they were about, and how much they cost.

It was issued quarterly (March, June, September, December) beginning in 1989.

Guidelines

Printed at the beginning of each issue.

1. Length; please no longer then [sic] 8 lines (approx).

2. Ad must state whether it's ready to mail, ready to print, or is in the planning stages.

3. Write ad as you wish to see it printed. I won't write ads from flyers.

4. Only current issues will be listed with a description. All previous issues will be listed with price only, unless an issue is a novel within itself.

5. Ads will be listed for four (4) issues unless notified. If a zine becomes unavailable (sold out, cat ate the master, etc) please let us know immediately.

6. Zine ads will be taken at any time, however, since we wish to mail this zine the first week of its listed month, we cannot guarantee listings to be included if ads are received after the first of the month before publishing. Example: ads for Sept issue should be received by Aug 1st.

This issue contains the usual contingent of ads, including:

VIDEO CO-OP: Is anyone interested in helping me organize a "video browser's best of fandom" tape collection? Specifically, I'm looking for one tape with the best six episodes of each given fannish series. This way people could "sample" the series to dabble in a new fandom, or see the episode that so many fanfic stories refer to. I can begin with Simon s Simon, Pro's (Mixed quality of copies), ST:TNG, Alien Nation, Good Neighbors, Hardcastle & McCormick, Riptide. Will need (am particularly interested in) Starsky & Hutch, Classic Trek (Is this one necessary?), UNCLE, B7, Quantum Leap, Other fannish shows gladly accepted. I would pay the donor for the tape ("best" being defined by the tape donor—I cannot take requests for specific episodes.), and then dub it for cost and postage. Is there any interest in this? (Aside from my own?) Comments and suggestions only (including your vote on which six episodes from your favorite fandom(5) to include) to: Ann Teitelbaum.

ATTENTION NJ. METRO NYC. & PHILLY WISEGUY FANS: Would you like to meet other fans? Bet together periodically to discuss the show and its wonderful stars?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I want to apologize for the photo—copying. In effort to cost costs, I bought a replacement toner for our machine...not name brand...in addition to toner being spit all through the machine, it made lousy copy. It is now corrected, machine is serviced, and it shouldn't happen again, (well, not in the near future anyway.

Another little bit, any subscriber attending MediaWest*Con, please stop by the Wizard Works table to receive your June issue. Those not picked up will be mailed after the convention, still within the deadline. Thank you. Jan.

[...]

By the way, this issue starts our 3rd year- Personally, I think we're doing okay. Two issues with bad photo—copying and one issue late, with all of you being notified of the new shipping date. Actually, I should make a promise to do better. Okay, I will. We may not be fancy, but I'll do my best to keep it timely and as accurate as humanly possible. Thanks for sticking with me.
