Orphans no more! David Langford has assembled installments of the reports written by twenty-seven winners of the Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund in the TAFF Trip Report Anthology: Second Edition.

The update arrives seven years after Langford published the TAFF Trip Report Anthology. This 2025 revision of the original 2017 ebook brings together segments of abandoned, undersized or as yet unfinished TransAtlantic Fan Fund trip reports, plus other related material.

The TAFF winners represented are Wally Weber (1963), Terry Carr (1965), Elliot K. Shorter (1970), Peter Weston (1974), Roy Tackett (1976), Terry Hughes (1979), Stu Shiffman (1981), Avedon Carol (1983), Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden (1985), Greg Pickersgill (1986), Lilian Edwards and Christina Lake (1988), Robert Lichtman (1989), Pam Wells (1991), Jeanne Bowman (1992), Abigail Frost (1993), Dan Steffan (1995), Ulrika O’Brien (1998), Maureen Kincaid Speller (1998), Randy Byers (2003), Steve Green (2009), Anne and Brian Gray (2010), Curt Phillips (2014), John Purcell (2017), Michael Lowrey (2020) and Sandra Bond (2023).

Second-edition updates comprise the removal of now-redundant sample chapters by Jeanne Gomoll (1987 – full report published 2020), John Coxon (2011 – full report published 2020), Jim Mowatt (2013 – full report published 2018); a newly unearthed chapter on Greg Pickersgill; and more recent chapters by John Purcell, Michael Lowrey and Sandra Bond.

The cover design incorporates the TAFF eastbound and westbound logos designed by Anne Stokes in 2006. 134,000 words.

This new collection is available from the TAFF Library as a free download, however, in hopes your generosity will be inspired by the delegates’ accounts of their adventures, the page is equipped with TAFF donation buttons ready to take any of three currencies!

The volume will be officially released on April 1, but you don’t actually have to wait, thanks to David Langford who has allowed a soft opening for File 770 readers.
