F A N M A I L BOB TUCKER: If LeZ were publishing today, the circulation would be around 75 copies, something I'd consider adequate until more fanzines entered the field to exchange with me.Sounds brutal I know, but ain't it life? You can produce and give away 'til hell freezes over, but try to get the word "thanks" written on a post-card from the vast majority of your silent reader group. The only sensible thing to do is charge 'em money for the privilege, or ignore them by not sending them the fanzine. And the latter appeals to me because it is the most economical if your publishing-fund is slender. We mailed 225 copies of the first TUT. We got 4 subscriptions, 4 more than we wanted! Henceforth, TUT will be limited to FAPA and the few outsiders who exchange or write well enough to be worth consideration. Thanks, Bob,for the tip. --BC A smaller circulation will mean more improvements. --HW WALT LIEBSCHER: When I get home all I want is some supper and a nice bed to listen to the radio with. Have you ever listened to the radio with a bed? It is much more fun than with the ears, especially when Frank Sinatra is one aloneing it to the bobby soxers. There's really a lot to be said For hearing Sinatra in bed. If you can't stand the tune It's so easy to swoon Or to umptity umpti instead. -- BC There's a fan old-fashioned but slightly insane Who wrote tsk-tskly to Editor Crane. I'll bet he's embarrassed And considerably harassed To learn his letter was read by the twain. --HW LORA CROZETTI: My daughter has lovely black hair from wop side of the family, thick as any you ever saw, and she dribbles it through her plate, over the floor and wipes her hands on it then does an exaggerated Duse every time it is combed. We'd scream, too. You ought to wash it before combing. --BC CHARLES BURBEE: as Laney and I agreed, anybody who's been used to setting type by hand and peeling sheets off a press probably regards the niceties of mimeography as child's play. I (who do none of the work) naturally regard them as child's play. Think of the trouble I'd have with Helen if I admitted anything else. --BC Hah! just wait till I live next-door, in Tokyo! --HW
