It does seem to be a different book with a different title..  Maybe since the bulk of it came from the first book?

Here is what Brian had to say, "It was a long road and a lot of work to get the second edition into shape. There was so much new information from the 15 additional interviews and tons of pictures that I had to split the book into two parts. A Company on the Edge deals with the period up until Tramiel leaves and the second part (slated for 2012) will tell the post-Tramiel years with the Amiga. Each book deals with about a 10 year period, and a lot of players change in 1984 so it worked out to be a pretty good split."


That sounds like a pretty good description of the differences.

It was available for preorder for a release in February 2010, which never happened. According to Robert's post, it looks like it's back on track for release... unless that's very old info.


Hm, the only comment on that "initial annoucement" is from March...
