| | "The Best of Xero" by Pat & Dick Lupoff, eds. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | From its modest beginnings to a 1963 Hugo Award for Best Fanzine, Xero was a fascinating and often controversial convergence of writers, artists, and a burgeoning fan community. |
 | | Collected here from Pat & Dick Lupoff's legendary fanzine Xero are an array of excellent essays, memoirs, and ongoing debates on science fiction, mysteries, comic books and popular culture, as well as the revolving letters of comment (locs) that are virtual forerunners of the Internet. |
 | | fanzines were web pages before there was a web, and locs were message threads and bulletin boards before there was cyberspace. |
