40 issues in 40 original parts, 8vo. Photographs and prints tipped-in as issued (some light soiling). Bound together in manila wrap with 3 brass fasteners (toning). Provenance: Forrest J. Ackerman (1916-2008), American editor, magazine publisher, and science fiction author; acquired by the present owner directly from Ackerman.

FIRST EDITION. Fantasy Fiction Field was a mimeographed fanzine founded by Julius Unger in late 1940, unique for its tipped-in prints and photographs. The publication centered around fandom as a culture, with numerous interviews and announcements. By the end of World War II Unger had ceased publication of Fantasy Fiction Field; a brief revival in 1963 ended with the death of Unger on the same day that the first issue was published.
