Reactions and Reviews
It's recently come to my attention via the zine listings and certain publishers' copious promotional materials that some fanzine "publishers" are really just printing/reprinting anything they can lay hands on, and jacking up the prices for the stuff they "agent".
I'm thinking here of Bill Hupe. There was a ST fan "novella" called "The Rekindling" that should have been used AS kindling, IMHO. I bought mine for something like $4 about, oh, 7 years ago, from the original publisher (which I believe is where I learned not to buy stuff written, edited, and published by the same person). Bill is now "reprinting" this "classic" -- think he's selling it for $5. [1]
