@-Sam-

Just received the following reply from their on-line shop:

Hi,

Unfortunately we are not getting any more in for the foreseeable future. Please head to www.greatdigitalmags.com for a digital edition or visit WH Smiths for a hard copy.

---

Quite surprised as I didn't think it had been out that long!

What a joke! I'll definitely just stick with the Amiga Visual Commpendium me thinks. I can't be doing with this half hearted book mag launch! Shame though.

I got confirmation from Imagine that shipping of the book was underway, should arrive at my folks address in the UK in a few days.

Sadly I probably won't be able to read it until April.

Wow - you were very lucky Rudei!



Kind of crazy that they have published the book - sold out - and now won't publish any more though.

@-Sam-

glad I got my order in, however it still just says processing.... hope there not an issue! give them till 12th and I might send a little email, same with Amigakit, still waiting on OS4.1FE X1000.

still this once again demonstrates popularity of the Amiga, as look at how few other books / mags have gone out of stock on there site, I would guess they might get them in again, as usually unsold copy of mags go back to the publisher usually, but from the looks of things this might of been a limited release judging by the fact that I've not seen it in two Wh Smith or any Supermarkets. If I do ever see it I think I will still pick up a copy, that way maybe someone on here who has missed out can get to have it or sell on ebay as it might be quite rare.

@amigang

You only have to look at the Commodore Amiga FaceBook page to see how popular the Amiga still is (the classics anyhow).

A loved machine with a lot of followers

Picked my copy up from local WHSmiths this afternoon, Jan 8th. A quick look through suggests its a collection of previous Retro Gamer articles, with 12 extra pages.

Still, if you dont want to buy all teh back copies, pull them apart etc, its cheaper and tidier.

@OldAmigan

Thanks! They have 7 left now

Bizarrely it is being sold by the same company (RetroGamer's publisher) that now lists them as out of stock!

@All

Ah.. my adresse is not good enough for amazon, looks like i can't order to Norway. I really want this book.

If i may ask, is someone willing to help me order one of those books for me and resend it to me in norway? It would be greatly appreciated if someone would. I would pay in advance for book and postage fee and some ekstra for the trouble.

Just pm me here at AW.

I was going to say no problem but we are a little late I fear - Amazon now says no stock.

@thread

Snagged myself a copy! I think it might have been the last copy in the WHSmith by where I lived.

Must just not have received them when I checked last week.

It is not as thick as it appears in the picture amigang posted, but is still a good 170 odd pages.

Looks like it will be a nice read.

Cant wait also till I receive my copy of the compendium from Kickstarter as well.
