Just to keep everyone up to date on the progress, here is Jerry Ellis' post from the retrogamer forum.

Thanks

Just another quickie (how many quickies is that now?) to let interested parties know that we've made a few subtle changes to the Hiive Books website ahead of the 8-Bit Book's ...

And, in case anyone is interested, here is the final cover design!



Thanks

Everyone who has pre-ordered so far will get a free upgrade to hardback (if they want) as a way of saying "Thanks".

(note: if you ordered more than one, only one of them will be upgraded).

I'm not sure what the exact upgrade price will be for everyone else, but I expect it to be of the order of a ...

I liked the Spectrum book... the ink smelled good too

Then you'll love this one...

Lots of the smelly black ink for that retro-recreational high!

Hi all...

I'm sure that lots of people here are already familiar with Merman's Commodore 64 book (with a foreword by Mr. Minter himself), but I'm not sure how many of you know about the third book in the series which is nearly completed and due to be sent off to the printers in the next week or so ...

Just to bump this thread....

The hardback Spectrum book sold out about two or three weeks ago, but we're just in the final stages of preparing the next book in the series that covers a bunch of other 8-bit platforms (and has some Speccy and C64 games in there for good measure).

Once again, this is ...

Sadly, I saw this message too late

Andrew

Absolutely...

Worldwide postage Yay!

Yeah... You can add them both to your cart from the hiivebooks.com website.

I think the combined weights are set up so that they combine postage.
Couldn't swear to it though without checking the database.

ah gutted, hardback being too pricey what with being a student and all. If you ever do another paperback version i'm all over it, looks like a beautiful book :)

Yeah... I wanted to make it cheaper, but unfortunately as I only printed 100, it wasn't possible... I printed it using dollars too, and ...

In case anyone is interested, the ZX Spectrum Book - 1982 to 199x limited edition hardback is now available :)

I only printed 100 copies, and they've all arrived at casa de Rollings in one piece on Friday.

I've only got a few left (as most were pre-ordered) so if anyone would like one, now would ...

My copy arrived on Friday, great little book, nice range of games covered far more than I expected. The detail and write up of each games I am really enjoying and the selection of screen shots are excellent.

I had a great trip down memory lane with this book and a cold beer on friday, just needed ...

Got mine :)

Wow, what a fantastic little gem of a book.

I should have ordered two copies!

Actually felt a bit like welling up when page 145 got close :) even with the spelling mistake ;)

Thanks! You've done a good job.

Cheers

Dan

Bah!!! I already apologized for that spelling mistake ...

Just put in a pre order, looking forward to this, :)

Any expected ETA on the next batch Merman?

It's an ORDER now, the books are at the publishers...

Orders up to the 14th of March were dispatched Monday, new orders will be dealt with as soon as possible.


Yeah... I guess I should update the ...

They're being sent from the states...

6-10 days.
