STF & FSY Songbook is a filk songbook fanzine for the science fiction community by Hal Shapiro.
STF & FSY Songbook (Science Fiction and Fantasy Songbook) was published at Pittcon, the 1960 World Science Fiction Convention. It is widely regarded as the first filk publication, entirely devoted to filk songs. Science fiction fans wrote lyrics, either original, or parodies and adaptations of original songs, to accompany existing music. This fanzine collects the filk songs that were being performed at science fiction conventions.
Illustrations were contributed by Bjo Trimble (Shangri L'Affaires), Jack Harness, Mary Young, and Ray Nelson.
