(???? – )

L. Tapper was a UK fan from Salisbury active in the 1950s. He was a founder member of the British Science Fiction Association (BSFA).

Vector #3 published a letter from him:

Would it be possible to run a poll of the members and find out which books they would most like to see in a British edition? Then the Association could write – in its official capacity as representative of British fandom – to various publishers, listing the desired titles as items which would probably be well received. In this way, publishers would learn what sort of stuff the SF readers themselves want, and we would have no reason to complain if the standard was low – assuming the publishers followed our suggestions.

An editorial response included, 'many more members are needed before we will be able to have any influence'.

Tapper joined the BSFA in 1958 but had ceased to be a member by June 1960.
