OK, the book is going off to the printers today after a few last-minute changes to make sure everything was right. Books will be sent out to those who pre-ordered first, late January. So if you pre-order now you'll get it quicker than if you order after January 1st...

Also, bring yours along to Retrovision and get it signed... I'll be looking into the possibility of bringing a few copies to sell as well.

Well, we've received an advance copy, and I've got some photos.
The rest of the books are due to be delivered to me about four weeks from now, and I'll be sending them out at that point.

As Andrew says, it's still going to be four weeks until we get our hands on the finished books... so unfortunately there won't be copies to sign at Retrovision next week.

(If I'm lucky I may have the sample copy to show... and guard with my life)

But what if two or more 'Softies were to team up and liberate it? Beware of "free pints- just over there out of line of sight" :D

Looks very cool, I like the format. Limited run, or can I still get one?

Are there any copies of the Spectrum one left? I'd like to get both if I can.

Yep..

There are a few Spectrum ones left. I'll probably have sold out and be taking the website down within the next week or so though...

I got a Speccy one and it is very nice indeed.

Might even order a C64 one when they come out, even though C64 was for bummers.
