Looking for an old fanzine

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I remember, long long ago, a fanzine (perhaps called "Book of Gold") that
published a few issues in which they went through the Latro books (or
perhaps only "Soldier of the Mist") sorting out references and commenting
on source material. A search through my many piles of old stuff wasn't
successful. Does anyone else remember these? I'd love to see those again.

Thanks,

Fernando

Among the mail that comes unbidden to my door is the very extensive
catalog of a Christian bookseller... The front portion was given over
largely to what appeared to be method books for achieving comfortable
intimacy with God. I wonder which God these titles referred to, and
whether the object of their religion might be more efficiently
accomplished by eliminating the byway of Christianity in favor of a
strong drug and a friendly pet.
