About this Title: Ambrov Zeor! (simply Ambrov Zeov after the third issue) is a gen anthology of fan fiction, articles, letters, and interviews based on the pro fiction of Jacqueline Lichtenberg's Sime~Gen universe, a world inhabited by people dealing with a biological reality not unlike that of the Alpha/Beta/Omega trope.
It began as a letterzine, but quickly became more encompassing.
Ambrov Zeor! contains many "Star Trek: TOS" zine ads and con announcements. Its creators capitalized heavily on fans' interest in Sime~Gen but also Star Trek, Kraith, and Darkover.
The exclamation point was left off of the cover title after the third issue.
About this Issue: Ambrov Zeor 4 (note: the exclamation point was dropped from the title from this issue onward) was published in April 1977 (first printing 200 copies), and contains 72 pages. It was edited by Cynthia Levine who writes that she "survived my second issue," and that after this issue, she is resigning as editor. Elisabeth Waters adds that during the the course of this zine, two editors had resigned in the space of four issues.
The Sime~Gen website notes that issue four has fiction called The Channel's Exemption by Jacqueline Lichtenberg (originally published in "Galileo" #4), but this story does not appear in the print zine, even in the revised edition. So, a mystery.

There are no longer Paypal refunds for postage once payment has been made.

b. Buy-It-Now Purchases: If you plan to buy more than one item from me, add them to your shopping cart, DO NOT USE BUY IT NOW. Once your cart is full, click on the button at top of cart page that says "Request Total From Seller." You will be prompted to commit to the purchases, at which point nobody else will be able to buy them. A notice will be sent to me to package your items and combine your shipping charges as much as possible, and send an invoice. This may take up to a day, depending on my schedule.

3) SALES TAX: All items shipped to addresses within New York State must be charged applicable NY sales tax unless you send or mail me a a completed NY resale certificate ST-120 or exempt organization certificate either before you checkout, or after payment. You will have my email address available after the sale to do this. I will then either adjust your invoice, or simply refund the tax, depending on whether you have paid. If you have purchased before and I have a resale certificate already, let me know and I will send you an amended invoice. Once I have your tax form filed, I won't ask you to send another one again, but just remind me that I have it.
