My only regret after receiving the 64 book is that I didn't buy the Speccy one.
Now they're all gone :evil:

Wow 8O ...I just ordered my copy yesterday, I can't wait for it to arrive! I hope there will be no problems with custom from the States :?
I can't believe I missed the ZX Spectrum one ... even though I was fond to Commodore I'd love to have it :cry:
No reprint in program?

I'll post my impressions as soon as I get it!

(btw, UPDATE the website.. the 'pre-order' thing is misleading :P)

Cheers! :skip:

Yeah, the website should be getting updated in the next couple of days.

Also, if you have problems viewing the menu bar, try adjusting the width of your browser window.

Haven't had any reports of problems with customs in the UK so far.

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
