Anglo-fandom versus Anglofandom: my sense is that 'Anglofandom' is the far more common usage and in ''FWD'' JMR used '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)
