Fanzines to share!

A number of zines have arrived in our mail box.

From Leybl in Israel, CyberCozen, which has news regarding “More Zion’s Fiction” and lots and lots of interesting links to various Cyber spaces fans might like to explore.  CCAUG-2021-v01

From Ottawa fandom we have OSFS #508 which this month is dedicated to the Perseid Meteor Shower. I do beg to differ about the Perseids being the best shower of the year, though. It’s the best known, but if you really want to see shooting stars, the Geminids are best by a long shot. OSFS #508 July, 2021

From Guy Lilian in Florida, we have Spartacus, his perzine. Spartacus 491 He opens with an opinion piece on the police–the good and the bad.

The N3F sent us Tightbeam and two issues of Mount Void.
