Why not subscribe to A2-Central? It's a great newsletter, chock full of great
information and worth every penny.
If you write a note to Tom Weishaar, he'll send you a two issue subscription
free of charge, no questions asked. Then, if you want to subscribe, just send
in the $24.

If you need the coupon for the Appleworks upgrade, just ask for a back-issue.
It's only $2 (or something like that).SEWALL@UCONNVM.BITNET (Murph Sewall) (06/25/89)

I agree that A2-Central is worth every penny, BUT anyone considering Lynda's advice should note that the AW 3.0 upgrade coupon is *--> NOT <--* part of the July issue!!!! It is part of the A2 Central Catalog that is mailed WITH the newsletter. I have no idea whether Tom sends the catalog along with two issue trial subscriptions or back issues. I wouldn't be surprised to find that he does, BUT if you send in a request now you may well get next month's A2-Central Catalog *WITHOUT* the coupon. Tom isn't available on this net, but I believe he can be contacted on Genie. If anyone finds out *definately* whether it's too late to obtain the AW coupon, please post the information to comp.sys.apple.

RE: A2-Central and AW 3.0
If you hurry, you can subscribe to A2 Central and receive the July issue.
A friend of mine just did so. You can even do it by phone (he did) -- he
got the number from 913 information (Kansas).
By the way, the current subscription price is $28 not $24. A subscription
on 3.5 disks is also available (for about $86 I think). The disk
subscription includes the paper copies, the same text on disk and assorted
goodies every month to fill the disk to 800K. (Goodies are usually public
domain or shareware programs, but have included fonts, apple techinical
newsletters, etc.).
NOTE: To take advantage of the $99 (if you don't already own Appleworks)
"upgrade" or the $79 upgrade (if you own Appleworks but are not registered
with Claris). You MUST be a subscriber -- Claris will be checking the
name on the order against a list of subscribers -- getting a sample isssue
is NOT sufficient.
By the way, registered (with Claris) Appleworks owners will get an upgrade
offer directly from Claris. It is supposed to cost the same $79, but does
not require sending in an original Appleworks disk.
Final note: Claris has postponed shipping version 3.0 until late August
because of bugs.
Regardless of the offer, I highly recommend A2-Central.
