Talk:Directory of Anglofandom

Anglo-fandom versus Anglofandom: my sense is that 'Anglofandom' is the far more common usage and in FWD JMR used 'Anglofandom'. See e.g. page 11 of FWD37 --Mark Plummer (talk) 01:28, 26 July 2024 (PDT)

That is exactly my sense too; I suppose this "Anglo-Fandom" is a historic artifact caused by bibliographers looking only at the title all-caps and interpreting it without context, quite like Science-Fantasy Review lost its hyphen in the opposite direction. So I will move the page to the form which is apparently more proper and canonical some time soon, unless there are explicit objections. --JVjr (talk) 07:16, 26 July 2024 (PDT)

I thought that FWD would have cited secifically the Directory by name, but interestingly it does not seem to: https://efanzines.com/FWD/FWD37.htm and #38 speak of "a Directory of British Fandom", 39 has just "Directory of Fandom" in BFS Bulletin. Would have to look hard in other JMR texts, but there are several instances of "of Anglofandom" in autoritative sources, inc. the BFB.

By the way, this is lovely: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/instant/minimalist/index.html?appid=4ea14c7b3ecc4f89ab0307ad5ead2988 Will add when have time (some more research on the 1948 edition must be done). --JVjr (talk) 05:28, 27 July 2024 (PDT)
