Kevas and Trillium

Kevas and Trillium is a gen Science Fiction (with some Star Trek) anthology by Alicia Austin, Maureen Bourns and Rosemary Ullyot that was published in Canada as part of the science fiction zine, Hugin and Munin, the latter being edited by Richard Labonté. 
Alicia Austin went on to become a highly respected artist, winning the Hugo Award for Best Fan Artist in 1971. Rosemary Ullyott went on to be nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer. 
Despite the fact the title comes from a Star Trek: TOS episode where Spock posed as a trader of "kevas and trillium" in the episode "Errand of Mercy," "Kevas and Trillium" is not strictly a Trek zine.
"Although not devoted entirely to the television series Star Trek, the title comes from an episode of the show. Articles about Star Trek include the story "Four Days In A Filthy Ford", about Canadian fans driving to St. Charles, Illinois, U.S.A. to see Leonard Nimoy in Visit to a Small Planet; a humorous conversation between Spock and Kirk; a survey of accents on the show; a scientific analysis of tribbles; and a description of The Cartel, headquarters for the Gene Roddenberry Appreciation Society, The Mark Lenard International Fan Club, and the Rick Carter International Fan Club."

On the table of contents: "With apologies, because I have never stencilled art before and I had no time to experiment. mb."
Also on the table of contents: "Small plea to our correspondents: We love getting mail, but please have patience waiting for your answers. The strike has left us with a stupendous backlog; we'll be in California for two weeks, and we have to think about K&T#2 when we get back, besides putting out a newsletter and drastically revising our address records. We do appreciate letters, and we'll get to them - eventually! COMING SOON: SuperMountie faces the most stupefyingly evil, blood curdling, spine chilling master of the dark forces - MAILMAN!"
