Victoria Freenet produced a booklet in 1993 that was intended to be a longer version of a FAQ.  It would give the basics of using the Freenet to new members and be a source of revenue at $3.00 per copy.  It was produced by Freenet volunteers and the printing was donated so all revenue is net revenue.

It is now in a third edition and remains a steady seller at many Victoria bookstores.
