Subject: [alt-beam] Re: BEAM Booklets
Well I think it's a great idea. I was thinking that someone should do
something like that. I think it would be cool if you had it like a
magazine, so a new one comes out every momnth with new ideas and the
latest BEAM news. I would definatly subscribe.

Are you planning on having black and white illustrations IN the book? It
would help a lot if there were small diagrams and stuff like that.
Any, just my 36c worth. I would be willing to help you gather info and
stuff like that if you needed someone to help.
