Yes, it's very good!  Not as indepth as Bagnall's first book though.

I don't know how to get in touch with the author but here is another option that one author did which was a kickstarter project. If money was an issue there are always other means of raising it. By the way this is a great book.

This one's much more of a technical analysis of the Amiga OCS chipset. It's heavily focused on the A1000/A500 with details on a small selection of early productivity applications, games, and demoscene productions. Very little discussion on Commodore itself, people involved, or much of anything post-1987.

It's well-written for what it is (and worth a read), but the scope is very narrow.
