It's an enjoyable read, but most interesting as an artifact, I think.

read BIMBOS OF THE DEATH STAR, a 1987 mystery set at a SFF con, and interesting to note some big differences in fandom

- *generalized* fandom assumed, rather than specific brands, with partial exceptions for Star Wars and Star Trek
- overwhelmingly male
- literature rather than TV/film the norm
