Musings:

In spite of the issue number of this newsletter, this is the first item in the run of Bohemian Earspoons. Following is the enlightening history of the Player's Association (and thereafter) publications/newsletters.

".... And the number 27 bit? Logic, of a sort , enters into our calculation here. Many Moons ago, there was a Hobby Newsletter (literally a letter) which was sent out to a select few. That reached issue 7. Next came the Players association Newsletter (PAN), which went out to the select many and managed 12 issues before the coming of IMAGINE magazine made it impractical. And finally there was the Players Broadsheet, which also managed 7 editions before it too went the way of all flesh... In all, there were 26 previous newsletters, and so Bohemian Ear Spoon 27....."

The quality of print of this item is very poor. In fact, it looks like a simple xerox. I happen to think it is authentic as the information in the issue tends to point to the low tech printing quality. The quality of the printing gets better as the issues go on, from my collection at least.

The contents and overall appearance are very close to the Players Association Broadsheets.
