Jan,
Honestly, I'd suggest making a photocopy of the campaign book's history
section and handing it out. That's the part of the book that sold me on
Shadowrun originally -- it's funny and well-written, gives a good
overview,
provides a lot of mystery for new players to wonder about, and if you're
not
going to be playing post-2070, you can copy the SR3 version instead or
hide
the stuff you don't want your players to see with a piece of paper when
copying it.
