I created a proper online petition so that we can show Ralph how many people would still purchase the book, given a chance, and I am spreading the link around all the Amiga sites I'm a member of. Please sign the petition if you'd like to see the situation change.

Link is here:

Thank you.

Sorry, I don't sign online petitions, besides weren't people already asked to register their interest with AndreasM when the reprint was first announced?

That's too sad really. I thought that Amiga-pirate guys don't even exist these days, but I was wrong.

@Phantom

I believe it's called abandonware these days.

Hmmm...

I'm sure that people who are genuinely interested in such a book would actually buy it.  Despite that people have gone and made it available via other means.

My uncle has produced his first children's book, he used a printing company to have something like 300 books printed.  My uncle paid for those books upfront and since recovered his money by selling almost all the copies.

I would imagine that a small number of books could be printed, though at a slightly higher cost, and still be sold.

I also recently ordered some printed linux material.  I know all the information was public knowledge, just bash commands and some other basic information, but I still bought a printed manuals because I wanted real books, and not just some ,.pdf or .txt file.

I doubt that I need this Guru book, but I hope that others can still enjoy a printed copy.
