I've transcribed by hand (aside: is there an official transcription or
extraction of the various Fred articles anywhere?) Page 5 and about
two third of Page 6 of the editorial below. Did anything ever come of
the project?

"The big (BIG BIG BIG) news this month is that FRED will be publishing
a book all about the SAM Coupe sometime this year. it is hoped that
the book will be out in time for Christmas this year and will include
many stories from people in the SAM world about their version of the
SAM story, and any experiences they have had. Some stories are
expected to be quite technical, while others will prove to be very
funny. At the moment, Colin is getting in touch with everyone who
could have a good story (including me...) and someone who is not
involved will decide what will make the final version.

"I must stress that the book IS NOT going to be a cheap, photocopied
thing. It will be produced in the same way as any paperback novel, and
could find it's way into some computer shops around the country.

"Colin Mcdonald is funding the project entirely by himself, and
although he expects to make a loss on it, feels that it is something
that many of us would like to remember our times with the SAM. at the
moment, price has not been decided.

"The main reason for mentioning about this book so early is because we
are still looking for SAM stories. If you think you have a story
relating to the SAM which you think other people would be interested
in reading about, please write down your experiences and send them to
Colin. The number of contributions is likely to be very high, so
unfortunately we can't guarantee to use your article, but please don't
let this deter you from trying. We look forward to seeing what stories
you have. The deadline is the 1st September, but the earlier the
better."
