Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book The World of Fanzines: A Special Form of Communication, by Fredric Wertham.
The thread gives a summary of the book and some context on Wertham and why I read this book. The thread discusses how Wertham's anti-commercial viewpoints inform this book. It discusses Wertham's respect for fanzines. It discusses the positives and negatives of Wertham's research- and classification-based style. It discusses Wertham's sense of humor. And it discusses some of my disagreements with Wertham's ideas about zine makers.
