A number of fanzines have landed in our mailbox. Download and enjoy!

PurrMew63 is a perzine edited by R-Laurraine Tutihasi. Her zine generally features some wonderful photography from Mike Weasner, who is probably her husband. In this issue great shots of a hawk and of course, their cats. Mike has lots of telescopes, I am so envious, and his astrophotography is amazing.  Check out his photo of the Orion Nebula Orion nebula taken with his  Nikon D850 DSLR camera through his 12” telescope. It’s on page 7.

From British Columbia  BCSFAzine 530  , edited by Felicity Walker. Ignore the date, Felicity is determined to catch up on missed deadlines.

Years ago, we exchanged zines with Probe the zine of the SFF club in South Africa, but then we lost touch. Glad to hear from them again. Probe 176 features great cover art and a couple of short stories.

The National Fantasy Fan Federation has sent us their own zine, TIGHTBEAM 287 which also has amazing cover art. Quite a few book reports, interesting articles – one on Roswell which will interest quite a few MonSFFen– a short story. movie reviews, and reviews of a couple of fanzines.

The NF3 also shares zines from various clubs and editors.  Mt Void from the  Mt. Holz Science Fiction Society is edited by Mark and Evelyn Leeper. Table of Contents for  MT VOID 2020.:
