| I'm not sure there was a post about this on this site, but there's a great Amiga-related Kickstarter project running right now, a book about the years of the Amiga. I have the C64 version of the book from the same author, and it's great. So this is the kind of project which surely gets delivered. There was also a Spectrum book earlier if I'm correct, but that I don't have because I'm a blind Commodore name follower.
There's still 5 days to support the project, although it's already funded, but there are some nice perks in reach.

There's also one for the VIC20 in the making, KS campaign has been closed not so long ago IIRC...

| @Nibunnoichi That's probably from a different author, so I didn't come across it.

Come to think of it I'd like to see a book about the C16/Plus4. Something to read about apart from those popular Commodore computers. Or Microfruit. |

| BTW, just because there was this topic, the book got finished and the backers already received the PDF download. Nice to see yet another Amiga related project to be successful.
I'd say the book also looks quite good, although I just quickly ran through it. Waiting now for the paper version for a proper experience. :) _________________ MorphOS, classic Amiga, demoscene, and stuff "When a bridge is not enough, build a Viaduct!"

Likewise, I only skimmed over the online version before downloading the backer PDF copy.
At 458MB it is one of the larger PDF books I have had in quite some time, but I feel this "in pixel" edition has more substance than the Spectrum and C64 in pixel editions that came before this. _________________ Test sig (new) |
