Books, books, fandom, Geek By Larissa Irankunda on Thu,2:48 During the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s, fandom, or "fannishness" was considered a niche community, with participants connecting through snail mail, small gatherings, and the very first structures of what we would now recognize as conventions and comic cons.
