The book is a virtual encyclopedia of Quantum Leap, with every character, episode, etc, discussed in detail and cross-referenced. It also should include some nice pictures. If you'd like to see such a book published, write to Nancy Cushing-Jones, MCA Publishing Rights, 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608. Just let them know you'd spend money for the book if it's published. Leapers who have had a chance to read the concordance say it's definitely a book you'll want to have in your collection."

This award was previously won by such outstanding actors as Ray Walston and Adam Arkin. Congratulations, Scott!"
- "Some nice Leapers on the Internet passed along some very interesting information to me. During the month of July, nearly 6000 different people accessed the new Quantum Leap news group, and it's expected there will be many more when the college students return to class. Further, on the NABA service on Internet, Quantum Leap was the second most-accessed file on the entire planet (First was the file containing pictures of the comets impacting Jupiter.) Pretty good for a cancelled series, hmmmm?"

Besides the guest panels, there will be panels for fan fiction and electronic fandom, a Dealer’s room, and a Charity Auction featuring such items as the brown towel worn by Scott in the Murphy Brown episode "It’s Just Like Riding A Bike," signed scripts and pictures, and many more. There are still good places available for the Con, so if you’d like to attend, send your check for $40, payable to LeapTime, Inc.[ ...] Rosie and I will be there, Rosie in her wheelchair and me pushing it.

v.4 n.5
Coming Attractions v.4 n.5 was published in May 1996 and contains two pages.
The content consists of information about IndyLeap '96, Leap Con souvenirs for purchase, information about Scott and Dean in movies and television, official Quantum Leap books and videos for sale, and a letter writing campaign.
About the letter campaign:
The time is finally here for us to write to MCA/Universal, which owns Quantum Leap, and encourage them to make a Quantum Leap movie. We've designated the week of May 19-25 as the time to write, and we hope all of you will send
We conducted a letter-writing campaign to Silver in January 1995, and there were signs immediately afterward that they might be considering a QL movie, when MCA was sold to Seagram's. Silver survived the massive personnel changes following the sale, and was actually promoted, so we know we have a permanent person to whom to write, and a person who has the power to greenlight a QL movie ail by himself. Both Scott and Deborah Pratt were very cautiously optimistic at LeapCon about the new regime being more receptive to a QL movie, and we hope that's the case.
So - let's take out pen and paper and write to Mr. Silver. Let him know you like Quantum Leap and would like to see a Quantum Leap movie with Scott and Dean as Sam and Al. Try to make your letter brief and courteous. We need as many letters as possible to arrive at Silver's doorstep so we can convince him a QL movie will be a moneymaker. Also, we've now organized the entire planet, and we hope people from countries other than the U.S will also write letters. These days, many movies make their profits from foreign sales, so letters from abroad are very important. Since a TV movie isn't a viable possibility, we want to encourage Silver to make a feature film, which wouldn't be subject to the errors of a flawed TV ratings system, and where every person who attends would be counted. We hope everyone will take a few minutes to write to Silver, send it during the week of May 19-25, and let him know we're still here and we'd like a Quantum Leap movie.

- "As most of you know, Scott's birthday is October 9. Many of you would like to send him some sort of gift, and I have a suggestion I hope you'll consider. Since he can buy anything material he wants or needs, I think he'd very much appreciate it if you'd make a donation to his favorite charity, Broadway Cares. They're currently in the middle of a major fund-raising effort, and I'm sure they'd appreciate a donation as well."
- "Many of you have called, written and e-mailed me to say that when you called the LeapLine (1-317-SAM-0808), you got a message that the service was disconnected. I'm sorry to tell you that the folks operating the LeapLine ran out of funds and have, indeed, had to discontinue the service. There's a slight possibility that it may be reinstalled at a later date, and if that happens, I'll let you know. In the meantime, many thanks to the nice Leapers who did so much work to keep the LeapLine updated for us for so many years."

The first planned get-together is DeanFest '97, to be held February 15-17,1997 at the Hollywood Holiday Inn - just 2 1/2 blocks from Dean's Star. They're planning lots of videos, a Stockwell Mini-museum, a Jeopardy contest, a Scavenger Hunt featuring Dean items to be found, and much more. I don't have a cost for this gathering, but you can make your hotel reservations by calling Jerry Redo or Christina Romero... [or] e-mail co-ordinator Cathy A’Heam..."

They're both good causes, and they're always in need of money. "

- information about KC Leap '98: "The good news is that our friends in the Kansas City area have decided to take over the time previously held for Indy Leap, and they’ve scheduled a Con for July 17-19, 1998 at the Kansas City Airport Hilton. Admission for all three days is $45 until May 17, and $55 thereafter, and they’ll start taking reservations October 15. Space is limited and reserved seating will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Activities will include a Charity Auction, never-before-seen music videos, a Charity Brunch with the guests, and lots of videos of Quantum Leap, Scott & Dean and the guests."
- information about LeapCon '98: "The sad news is that the demands of real life have intruded upon our friends who organize the LeapCons in Los Angeles, and there won’t be a Con there in 1998. A tremendous amount of work from July through February goes into putting on this Con, and I know we can understand why they won’t be able to host a Con next year. They have some ideas for the future, so perhaps there will be another LeapCon for us to look forward to. In the meantime, EastLeap is coming up, and KC Leap is already scheduled for next year. Let’s support these gatherings as we always have in the past."
