Amateur Press Associations are a means to bring together those interested in a common subject through their regular contributions to a shared publication. Its members must maintain active participation to remain in good standing. Memberships in APAs are usually small to keep the publications manageable. Each member offers a unique perspective which meets few restrictions from editorial control. Because of the limited membership and the number of issues published, only a few outsiders are able to see all the hard work and worthwhile articles put into most APA issues.ERB-APA was founded in 1984 by ERB fan, John Guidry. He modeled the society after other typical amateur press societies, seeing the organization as one which would allow ERB fans to share their “comments, musings, rantings and ravings, fond memories, whatever....”
John decided to limit membership to 36 -- to commemorate the age at which ERB began writing. Members would pay a nominal membership fee and would then, four times a year, type up a minimum of two pages of material and send 50 copies to John. He would then collate and bind the material, and return a copy to each member. Six slots were set aside for “Honourary Members” (chosen by member vote) which were honoured for their lifetime commitment to ERB fandom. People on the waitlist had first option to buy any extra copies.
ERB APA members, past and present, are invited to submit their APA submissions to this Archive site so that they may be shared with ERB fans around the world.
No. 1: The appearance of the inaugural issue of John Guidry’s brainchild.
Eighteen ERB fans contribute 78 pages.
No. 3: APA membership has already grown to just two members short of
the full slate of 36.
No. 4: APA membership reaches 36 and already several dropouts insure
that the organization will remain vital and dynamic.
No. 6: Paul Spencer begins his long-running series of ERB book reviews.
No. 7: John Guidry inaugurates the Annual Symposium. Each year a topic
is chosen to encourage members to concentrate on some of ERB’s lesser-known
works. This year’s issue focussed on The Bandit of Hell’s Bend.
No. 9: Leonard Homel succeeds John as the new OE and inaugurates the
"Kaorspondence" section.
No. 11: The Cave Girl is the featured Symposium topic.

of the founder of the Burroughs Bibliophiles.
No. 15: The Mad King Symposium
No. 16: The death of APA member, John F. Roy is announced.
No. 17: In keeping with the now-tradition of two year editorial shifts,
Leonard steps aside for the new OE, George McWhorter. George replaces staples
with comb binding.
No. 19: The first published indication of strife between APA members.
No. 23: John Martin takes over the OE role as George McWhorter turns
to reviving the Burroughs Bulletin. John introduces the regular closing
section "The Last Word.," which gave each member a showcase for immediate
feedback.
No. 25: A landmark giant issue of 383 pages.
No. 30: The idea of a symposium issue is revived after a four year
hiatus: The Land That Time Forgot is featured.
