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. :)

Thanks for this, I look forward to receiving my copy!

Beautiful! Wow, why is this not a news item? Or being bumped every day? Almost missed it! :(

Geeze, you get sick and miss posts for *one day*, haha. :roflmao:

The 65K stretch goal was just met!
Up to the 75k one!
-
ehh, i guess this kind of money we can only dream to see invested in someting actually useful for amiga.
-
I love these kind of materialistic stuff! I have pledged :)
-
Got my book last night. It's beautiful! And big! Over 400 pages! Now to find time to read it, LOL. :)
-
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!

Looks awesome! These available for purchase in the U.S. or only through that site in the U.K.?

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

I tried to order both the 64 book and Amiga.. I dont do Paypal so that is out..and Sagepay doesnt work with my credit card for some reason. Oh well.

I am going to bite. Why don't you "Do" paypal ?

I had two issues with them when I used to use ebay, so I just stopped using ebay and paypal years ago.

Find paypal invaluable these days. Makes paying for stuff on line so easy and quick and people you buying off dont find out your payment details.
Dont they just take credit card payments ?

@thread
mine just arrived today, after waiting for many months. the print quality is terrific, and love the little extras, like the postcards and the dustjacket with signatures. i'll be sure to take my copy with me to amiwest 2015 -- although i imagine a bunch of folks there will have ordered their own copy by then. :)

I've received my Kickstarter goodies. I don't have any particular affection for the Shadow Of The Beast 2015 remix CD or the Another World gold foil print, so I'm looking for trades.
-
Just ordered one, looks cool. I am going to the 30th for the Amiga in the US so maybe I can have some folks sign it for me.

I was listening to that CD on my way to work today, it's actually surprisingly good! :)
Edit: then again, I am the kind of geek that would record C64 music onto cassette tapes, so I could listen to them on my Walkman, back in the '80s. LOL. :D
