Thanks Valerio Hi,

I read about this book on the Guardian guide last week, it said out now, I wonder if you know of a UK issue coming soon or it is just this USA academic publication the only one available.

Thanks
Valerio

(I must and shall check this book out!) The divide, I think, is echoed in fandom itself, which doesn't help. There are a lot of tv/movie fans who don't consider band/music fandom to even *be* fandom, in my experience. The organization of the fandoms are so very different, the expression of fandom love and fandom creativity so varied, that there's not much shared experience there.
