ZX Spectrum Book Hardback...

Post by andrew_rollings »

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 be a really good time to snag it.

Andrew

PS. Apologies for the blatant "look at me" advertising... I just wanted to make sure everyone knew, because I got a bunch of complaints after the last one sold out that the prospective purchaser had never heard of it :P

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 the slumping pound hasn't helped either :(

The sad thing is, that's a normal price for books around here. I got some paperbacks that cost me that much, and which weren't limited edition or such :(

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. :P

Can you post to Australia? It's worth it for the cover alone...

Ordered! I missed out on the paperback version, so I decided I had to get this one. The P&P is a bit steep though! Still, the book looks great, and I'm looking forward to doing some reminiscing.

I'm a Commodore man through and through heh... not that I didn't play my fair share of Speccy titles in the 80s though.
