Beauty and The Beast: The Newsletter is a Beauty and the Beast fanclub newsletter and letterzine published out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
It was published four times a year: March, June, September, and December.
The first issue was published in March 1988 and ended in June 1990. The newsletter spanned from the end of the first season to two months before the show was cancelled. As a result, the letters, fan discussion, and translation of information doled out to fans by TPTB reflected a cycle of excitement and optimism, fear and anxiety about characterizations and show cancellation, fervent mobilization to keep what they loved, and finally, for many fans, the crushing defeat and sense of betrayal that fractured the fandom. 
This zine series was informally continued in Passages, which began the month "Beauty and the Beast: The Newsletter" ceased.

== v.3 n.10 (June 1990)==
Beauty and The Beast: The Newsletter v.3 n.10 was published in June 1990 and contains 30 pages.
Editorial and Layout Staff: Patricia Adams, Rita Adams, Eileen Hartwig, Deb Hense, and Linda Palm.
This issue mainly consists of publicity stills, official production announcements, and an interview. It has no fanart or letters of comment.
While there is no indication that this was the last issue published, there are no more. This is likely to fandom turmoil; the editors were plain just worn out. Fandom discourse continued in the letterzine, Tunneltalk.
