The Fantastically Fundamentally Functional Guide to Fandom

This is actually a set of four zines. The Fantastically Fundamentally Functional Guide to Fandom for Readers & Contributors was published in 1989 and The Fantastically Fundamentally Functional Guide to Fandom for Editors & Publishers was a three volume work published in 1990. 
They were funny and comprehensive introductions to zine fandom of the time. They were also noticeably inexpensive: the Readers and Writers volume was ~120pp, lg. digest-sized and saddle stapled, for $3. The 3-volume volume for Editors & Publishers was $6, and went into excruciating detail about things like estimating the costs for putting out a zine. 
In the early '90s, they were briefly online, but the pages were taken down before they could be copied and saved.
