THE CLIPPER TRADE SHIP

Mini Review By Sarah Thompson

This is a nice little digest zine from the Rondeaus, whose services as zine dealers I would recommend based on my happy experiences with them. It's mostly ST and STTNG, with just a smattering of miscellaneous other things. The B7 content is neglible, but the zine is attractively produced and very inexpensive ($2 or less per issue), so you might consider getting it if you're a Trek fan as well.

Melody said that she thinks these were all the issues that had any B7 material in them.
