Just notice Amazon has listed the Commodore: the Amiga years, the sequel to Commodore on the Edge.
No details other than
540pages
October 2012
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Commodore-Amiga-Years-Brian-Bagnall/dp/0973864990/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1339445886&sr=8-2

The Future Was Here: The Commodore Amiga
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Future-Was-Here-Commodore/dp/0262017202/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1339446364&sr=1-1
You can read the first few pages, seem pretty good, anyone read it and would recommend? tempted.

And Viva Amiga
http://vivaamigafilm.blogspot.co.uk/
just thought I'd remind everyone, really looking forward to it, hope it come out for the end of the year, it be great if it was shown at an Amiga show.

@amigang

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!

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!
Tygre

@amigang

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.
