I ordered this book. I wonder if anybody on AOrg already read this book and wants to comment on it.

Yep preordered and read it last year when it came out. Thought it was a brilliant read, in fact I feel like reading it again  :-D now youve mentioned it.

I read it several months ago.  It's a great read for anyone with a fondness for Commodore computers.

You will have heard a lot of the stories and facts before, but I am sure there will be items that are new to you.

Unfortunately it has been poorly proof-read as I found around 20-30 typos.  I always meant to get in touch with the author but never got around to it.

In short it is a well worth the money!

There's not much on the Amiga in it, but it's still an interesting read.

It could have been proofread a little more. There are a lot of typos.

Bil Herd's stories about Commodore moving to West Chester are pretty funny :-)
