Commodore Amiga: a visual Commpendium
« on: October 16, 2014, 11:16:53 AM »

After the succesful C64 kickstarter, now the Amiga is about to receive it's own book.

It was already succesfully funded within 12 hours, but for the people who didn't back it yet it's still open for 28 days. :)

Looking forward to seeing it in an ebook format (my vision is too poor for printed books, as a rule).

The C64 one is a great read.

I have that one, too.  :)

The Amiga one is available as an ebook - it's a 244MB PDF - was sent out via download to everyone who backed the print book.  Not sure what the distribution plans are in the future, maybe message the publisher on Facebook or something, to ask?  I have a copy but I'd feel bad about distributing it, they specifically asked folks not to.  :(

Oh super, Mike - will look into tracking down the ebook version then - looked for it earlier this evening and couldn't find it on the iTunes bookstore, maybe the publishers can give me a hand.

Cheers!

I think you can only buy it through the uk site: http://www.funstock.co.uk/commodore-amiga-a-visual-commpendium-book The shipping calculator gives $10,- for shipping costs to the U.S. But you could ask the creator Sam on Facebook or so: https://www.facebook.com/sam.dyer.54584
