(???? –)

John Gunn was a UK fan active in the 1940s. He edited Booklist for the British Fantasy Library.

When the British Fantasy Library launched in 1946 its official organ, Booklist, was edited by Ron Holmes. He was hospitalised and in early 1948 dropped out of fandom altogether, passing Booklist to Gunn who continued to produce issues during that year. In September 1948 Walt Willis contacted Gunn to ask about distributing Slant alongside Booklist. Gunn didn't reply and Booklist continued to appear. Eventually Willis wrote to Gunn offering to mail Booklist and on Christmas Day 1948 receive a parcel 200 copies of the December issueand what Gunn's covering letter described as 'the only copy of the Directory of Anglo-fandom in existence'.
