Collection Description
Historical Note
Cuyler Warnell "Ned" Brooks (1938-2015) was an editor, collector, and fan of science fiction. He worked for NASA as a wind tunnel engineer while collecting books and fanzines, and created his own publications. He was an active part of many science fiction fan organizations and kept robust correspondence over his lifetime, creating zines featuring the writing and reviews of his contacts. He also created crowd sourced indexes and book reviews, championed private presses, self published sci fi writers, and artists of the genre in his own publications. An avid collector of historic typewriters, a large part of the output of his zines were created using a typewriter and mimeograph machine.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of apazines primarily focused on science fiction and fantasy; however, several titles are focused on humor, music, and sex. The largest runs are NAPA (National Fantasy Fan Federation/Neffer Amateur Press Alliance), SFPA (Southern Fandom Press Alliance), and SLANAPA (Slanderous Amateur Press Association). Also included are issues of LASFAPA (Los Angeles Scientifiction Fans' Amateur Press Association), ALPS (Amateur Long Playing Society), APA-H, APA-69, APA L, and APA LP.
