With Hazel Ashworth West’s blessing, the late D. West’s two monumental fanwriting collections are now free downloads at http://taff.org.uk/ebooks.php: Fanzines in Theory and in Practice (1984; huge page-image PDF by Mick West, plus compact PDF and ebooks) and Deliverance (1995; PDF and ebooks).
Perhaps of interest to your readers. The opening paragraph of the introduction to FITAIP:
This is a book about fanzines. However, it has little to say about the mechanical details of fanzine production: the cutting of stencils, the layout of articles, the printing and so forth. The primary concern here is with the ideology of fanzines; not how but why they are produced and why certain approaches and strategies are more to be favoured than others.
