The National Fantasy Fan (TNFF) [ISSN: 2169-3595] is the Official Organ clubzine of the N3F. From 1941 to 1944, it was known as Bonfire. Between 2001 and 2011, its name was shortened to The Fan in self references. The fanzine was generally (and quite consistently) published 6 times a year, in February, April, June, August, October, and December. On a few occasions, two issues were published as a double issue. Volume numbers corresponded to years. We include the volume numbers when known. Between 1966 and 1972, the volume numbers skip a year, so we cannot assign these numbers without further inspection.
The Feb. 1962 issue incorrectly claims it is vol. 20, #1; it is vol.21, #1. There may be other printing errors of this form.
