The staffs of several libraries and archives provided me with invaluable assistance as I conducted my research, and I am grateful for the help of the Special Collections Research Center at Syracuse University; the Lilly Library at Indiana University, Bloomington; the University of Pennsylvania Archives; the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana; and Booth Library at Eastern Illinois University. Institutional support for this project included a grant from Eastern Illinois University's Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and release time awarded by the College of Arts and Humanities dean's office. Ned Brooks, who passed away in August 2015, was a valued correspondent who provided research advice and scans of fanzines on several occasions, and I thank him with a heavy heart. I am indebted to Richard Moulson and Ken Biggle for helping me track down rare books and magazines, and to Stephen Swords for many stimulating conversations about SF. Gary K. Wolfe and James Gunn offered insightful feedback that improved my manuscript, and my editors Marika Christofides and Willis Goth Regier have been a wellspring of guidance and support. Special thanks to Staci and Anastazymy magnificent mainstays in lifefor their help, encouragement, and patience.
