I need the ZX Spectrum re-print!!!! - I think you guys under-estimated the sales for that one.
By the time I found out about it - it wasn't available anywhere!

I have the Spectrum/Commodore Bookazine and it is top notch, I also bought the MD/SNES issue and that was good too. In the case of the Speccy/C64 issue I wasn't aware of it's existence until several months later when I happened to chance upon a copy in York train station, it was only after a little research I found out it had been out for several months and that I had been very lucky to find it at all! I wanted the Atari issue but didn't have the conkers when I saw it and when I did I couldn't find it for love or money so a reprint of that would be nice. I agree that an Amiga/ST issue would be good, possibly a NES/Master System version too.

Please, please, please reprint the ZX Spextrum / Commodore 64 Book
(and keep a copy for me

)
PS: old (GamesTM) Retro issues would be good too.

Only the digital version last time I looked, I think they sold out just as I did this video!

I'm against this tbh as it will ultimately drive down the evil bay prices. I am considering selling some off at the mo. Could imagine possibly wait until..
A: I've made up my mind whether to sell or not.
B: if the result of A is "sell", that I have done so.
Cheers

Just went into the online store now, and it says it's available. I put one in my shopping cart. They may have made a mistake or perhaps have some extra stock...but at the moment it does say it's in stock. If anyone wants it I suggest getting it NOW

Darren- Just a quick Q...should Imagine go ahead with reprinting a few selected Bookazines, is it at all possible to have perhaps a preorder system in place so the folk that want a particular one can ensure they get it?

Yep! A sort of Kickstarter for reprints

And/or a preorder system, considering that those outside the UK can't even rely on WHSmith or similar stores

Should really be no excuses for those that missed out. They stay around in Whsmith's for ages. I suggest doing some new ones before considering reprinting. A dedicated arcade one would be nice, covering hardware, companies and of course games. There have been a lot of bookazines covering consoles and computers, but not one for arcade systems.

This is a great idea.
