'''A Sense Of FAPA''' is a science fiction fanzine edited by Richard 'Dick' Eney.

''A Sense Of FAPA: Selection From The Mailing Of The Fantasy Anateur Press Association'' was published August 1962 on the occasion of the 25th anniversary and the 100th mailing of the [[Fantasy Amateur Press Association]], science fiction's longest running [[Amateur Press Association]]. 

It is 388 pages, and mimeographed on pale blue bond paper. As it was too large for any stapler, this fanzine is strap bound in a plain black folder. Approximately 150 copies were produced. 

Richard Eney chose a selection of the best work published during the first quarter century of FAPA's existence. Introductions are by [[Harry Warner, Jr.]], Jack Speer and Richard Eney. Contributions include Jack Speer's science fiction fan history, "Up to Now"; "Mutation Or Death", John Michel's tract for The Futurians; and [[The Acolyte]] editor F. Towner Laney's "Oh! Sweet Idiocy!". 

Other writings were by James Blish ([[The Planeteer]]), Redd Boggs ([[Sky Hook]]), Charles Burbee ([[Shangri L'Affaires]]), Dean Grennell ([[Grue]]), Joe Kennedy ([[Vampire (1945)|Vampire]]), Henry Kuttner, P. Schuyler Miller, Milton A. Rothman ([[Fantasy Fiction Telegram]]), [[Bill Rotsler|William Rotsler]], Rog Phillips, Robert Silverberg ([[Spaceship]]), Ted White, C.S. Youd ([[The Fantast]]), and Andy Young.

Writing is also included by [[Donald Wollheim]] ([[The Phantagraph]], [[The New Hieroglyph]], [[Terrible Tales of Tittering Terror]]) who founded FAPA, and to whom the fanzine is dedicated.

Contributors of art work included Bill Manning, William Rotsler, [[Bjo Trimble]] ([[Shangri L'Affaires]]), and Jean Young.
