Thanks for that. Will pre-order that in a moment. I read the first edition (On the edge), and bought the 8-bit era second edition, but haven't got around to going through that yet. I was planning to wait until I had both parts before starting on it.

Ordered mine from Amazon in the UK and it arrived quickly, it's a hardback edition and interesting but slightly expensive but worth it.

I have just pre ordered. Already purchased the future was here and on the edge part 1 and like everyone I guess I am looking forward to the Viva Amiga film. A great year for nostalgia!

@amigang

I recently read The Future Was Here: The Commodore Amiga and would definitely recommend it.

@all

Hi all!

I also just finished reading "The Future Was Here" and it is great: lots of interesting facts, technical details, "insider" stories, and a very nice, balanced view on the Amiga strengths and weaknesses...

... definitely a must-read!

Happy reading!

I'm reading "The future was here" right in these days.
It's a good one and a fairly technical reading from many point of view.

I backed "Viva Amiga" and I can't wait to get my hands on it as well.

I am expecting that this will be a nice little gift under the Christmas tree :)

Didn't it take a while for the last one too?

Same here. The new arrival will be 3 months by then so I should be able to have a break and read an Amiga book at Christmas

It is still annoying to me how things ended up. Commodore could have been where Apple is today if they had the right visionary at the top!

I find it odd too based on this news that it was finally going to print.

We Amiga fans are used to dates slipping ;) As I posted before, plan for a treat under the Christmas Tree. Delays happen...
