Amateur Press Associations are a means to bring together those interested in a common subject through their regular contributions to a shared publication. Its members must maintain active participation to remain in good standing. Memberships in APAs are usually small to keep the publications manageable. Each member offers a unique perspective which meets few restrictions from editorial control. Because of the limited membership and the number of issues published, only a few outsiders are able to see all the hard work and worthwhile articles put into most APA issues.ERB-APA was founded in 1984 by ERB fan, John Guidry. He modeled the society after other typical amateur press societies, seeing the organization as one which would allow ERB fans to share their “comments, musings, rantings and ravings, fond memories, whatever....”
John decided to limit membership to 36 -- to commemorate the age at which ERB began writing. Members would pay a nominal membership fee and would then, four times a year, type up a minimum of two pages of material and send 50 copies to John. He would then collate and bind the material, and return a copy to each member. Six slots were set aside for “Honourary Members” (chosen by member vote) which were honoured for their lifetime commitment to ERB fandom. People on the waitlist had first option to buy any extra copies.
ERB APA members, past and present, are invited to submit their APA submissions to this Archive site so that they may be shared with ERB fans around the world.
No. 1: The appearance of the inaugural issue of John Guidry’s brainchild.
Eighteen ERB fans contribute 78 pages.
No. 3: APA membership has already grown to just two members short of
the full slate of 36.
No. 4: APA membership reaches 36 and already several dropouts insure
that the organization will remain vital and dynamic.
