This is more a history of the WSA - a dealers regulatory group - rather than fandom gossip. Some gossip is included, but without enough details to help me at least figure out who's who. The book talks about some of the fannish feuds in the early 70s. It's written by someone in the midst of one of those feuds, but it seems as fair enough to all sides. Disclaimer: I knew and was a friend of some of the folks on one side of the big WSA break-up, but not friend enough to have been interviewed by the FBI. Your interest in this book depends on 1) your interest in the history of the WSA, 2) your interest in the history of 1960s - 1970s fanzines and fandom.
