More Beans

More Beans was a 6-page, single-issue fanzine published in the UK in October 1982 by Harry Bell and Ian Williams. It self described as "response-orientated, so we're looking for interesting letters, but it's also available for the Usual (Trades to both of us, please) or for £1 or $2 (Cash only, no subs)." The intent was that it be issued at "at reasonably regular intervals" but it proved to be a one-off.

While our inspiration is most certainly Pong, our model, if we have one, is probably Egoboo, a John D. Berry/Ted White fanzine of the late 60s/early 70s. This issue should give a good idea of what you might expect to find in the future, and Little Ian has been warned that should he start slipping into his old habits of maudlin, overly introspective outpourings, he'll feel my fingers on his throat.

Trivia buffs may be interested to know that it cost 26p to airmail a copy to the United States, equivalent to about 91p in 2025. Its 2025 equivalent, were such a thing to exist, would cost £2.80.
