The SpeleoBem

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Bruce Pelz's SAPS apazine; the name referred to his hobby of spelunking, with the editorial called "The Crawlway", mailing comments "The Cabel [sic] Ladder" etc. Late issues lost the article to mere SpeleoBem, although inconsistently (in fact, as the title was all-caps, BEM's exact capitalisation is uncertain).
