I have several miscellaneous questions to answer.

1) I am an old member of the DWFCA and unless you live an a BIG city,
it's really not worth it.  (Boston wouldn't even qualify.)  They're HUGE
and impersonal.  They're good for information, but that's about it. 
Also they're too American to be good.  They're notoriously cute and "smurfy"
and they coined the hated word, "Whovian."  They're not close to home,
but they try to make up for it by being "folksy."  At any rate, $5 will
get you a little card with the typical puns telling you you are a true
"Whovian," and a subscription to their newsletter, and finally a badge
that changes colors.  Neat, huh?

2) I am much more positive on this one.  I lived for a while in the Boston
area, and am on speaking terms with a few store owners.  In the Harvard
Square area is your best bet.  First there's a shop right in the centre,
next to a restaurant with a bizarre name, but I can't remember the
restaurant's name.  At any rate, the restaurant is huge, the store small.
Ask directions somewhere.  The store's called "Science Fantasy Bookstore,"
and it just moved there.  (There's a triangle, you enter the square from
_____________  the front, SF bookstore is right on the left side, look
\           /*Million Year Picnic.       for the sign.  Then there's Million
 \         /                             Year Picnic, which is on the right
\  \     /                              side,  before the travel service with
 \*  \ / Science fantasy Bookstore.)    the catchy slogan, "Go away... often."
Then there's Newberry comics.  SF Bookstore is a PM magazine "Best whatever."
If you go there, say hi to Spike from me.
