For a history of the newsletter, read the editorial page in each issue, as they fully cover what I was doing during the newsletter's run (it involved moving and changing jobs twice). The final issue was published in October 1991 and was made available only to people who had subscribed to the newsletter---no copies of issue 6 were sold to book sellers.

Now, for the first time, you can download Adobe PDF versions of the first five issues of Lights Out!. You can download the Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader from the Adobe Software web site, or use Xpdf under VMS or UNIX.

Some of the contents of the newsletters are available elsewhere on this web site, but there's a considerable amount of material in the issues that is not present on this site.

Please note that, for the most part, where there were advertisements in the original issues, there are blank spaces and blank pages in the PDF versions. I didn't bother trying to reproduce the ads, except for those originally typeset with TeX. Also, each issue featured a "recommended reading list," with lots of great novels mentioned.
