Hi Henry. I have ordered your book, and I am thinking about teaching it in a class next quarter. I wonder if you could offer any advice about teaching it. I have two or three specific questions. One of my concerns has to do with the availability and use of the fan discourse you discuss. I have not seen your book yet, but I suspect that to have great success teaching it in an introductory class one would need to have examples of the zines and song tapes that you discuss. I do not kn ow how I would go about getting access to such examples, and from your exchange with Leslie I gather that the fans who produce this material have some real concerns about its circulation and the uses to which it is put. My second question has to do with the organization of this unit of my class. It seems to me that it might be useful to contrast to contrast the activities of the fans and the concerns of your book with more traditional modes of textual analysis. I am interested in focusing particularly on Star Trek and would like to know if you are familiar with any more traditional analysis of the show that would be good for my purposes. Finally, I wonder if you have found particular episodes of either of the ST series that are particularly good to teach (and that are available on tape). Thanks for any help you have for me. --Richard deCordova
