- This was originally recommended by Meg Garrett of the LA Filkharmonics and
- also librarian at UC Riverside in California. Jane Mailander brought her copy
- to the December filk party & I got to scan the filk chapter briefly. It's
- *very* good, well researched & written. Highly recommended for all libraries.
-
- Also recommended is the book _FutureSpeak: A Fan's Guide to the Language of
- Science Fiction_ by Roberta Rogow. She has several entries for filk &
- filking, also lyrics to _Hope Eyrie_ & _Banned From Argo_, plus the Filker's
- R&R's by yours truly. While the filk entries are very descriptive & good,
- they do tend to have an East Coast bias and seem to be rather dated. Again a
- must for the fannish reference library.
-
- Hardbound, $24.95; paperback, $15.95. (c) 1991 by Roberta Rogow Paragon House,
- 90 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
- Available (probably) at most bookstores in either the SF section or the
- reference (dictionary) section.
