Nicknamed TUT, a FAPAzine published by Helen Wesson with Burton Crane and then Sheldon Wesson on several continents.
In a 1954 reminiscence of her publishing life, Helen wrote:
For FAPA I have published (1946–52), with Burton Crane co-editing for three issues, five numbers of The (Unspeakable) Thing of China, New Jersey, Japan and New York, totaling 148 mimeographed 8 1/2 x 11 pages, illustrated and hand-painted. When the FAPA surplus stock sale was held, TUT sold for 20 cents per copy, the others only 1 cent to 10 cents, which indicates something. I'm not sure what.
