Directory of Anglofandom
The Directory of Anglo-Fandom was a fan directory published by J. Michael Rosenblum in the UK for the British Fantasy Society (BFS) and reportedly distributed through FAPA (if so, it's unclear which mailing) and doubtless elsewhere. It seems that the original work was done by Dennis Tucker but he 'found it impossible to continue' and so turned the papers over to Rosenblum around October 1944 (per Futurian War Digest #37).
As well as names and addresses – it can be especially useful for confirming full names when initials were usually used – Rosenblum identified forces personnel including those posted overseas, BFS members, and included some names of people 'not in touch at the present moment' and a few, marked with an X, 'whose connection to fandom is known to be finally severed'.
The British Fanzine Bibliography suggests there was a second edition in 1948 produced for the British Fantasy Library. However, references elsewhere suggest this was more likely much-talked-of but never published.
