Besides the paper, manual, and language tutorial, is there anything
else I should read to help me learn how to use sam? Would any
background reading on Plan 9, ed, or anything else be helpful? Thanks.

You're pretty much set with those documents. Note: to typeset the
tutorial, you will first need to execute

	cp /sys/lib/troff/font/devutf/CI /sys/lib/troff/font/devutf/CS
	cp /sys/lib/postscript/troff/CI /sys/lib/postscript/troff/CS
