PAS-tell
A fanzine published by Bjo Trimble. "PAS" stood for Project Art Show, and this fanzine reported on it. Issue #14 notes "We've jumped a Volume number--no v3 at all--to v4n1. This was done to finally get a system to this business; the vol. # now indicates the number of the Annual WorldCon Art Show immediately concluded. Sorry, you bibliophiles, but this idea helps us more than it hurts you!" Pas-Tell #20 gives a listing of the issues of Vol. 5.

In fall 1962, PAS-Tell published a 16 page "Artist Catalog" of information on 45 artists who had participated in Project Art Shows at Pittcon (1960), Seacon (1961), Westercon 15 (1962), and Chicon III (1962), including the awards at these art shows. This catalog may have been one of the "missing" issues above, but it is not listed like the other PAS-Tell zines, and is not numbered.
