Hang in there friend. My mum's still waiting for her copy, I still haven't had my author copies (save for the two solitary advance copies of the hardback and the paperpack that I took pictures of the other day - see previous pages for those images) and my cousin - lead singer of the Five O'Clock Heroes, no less - still hasn't received his copy either! We're all in the same boat I guess. Well, a third of us are. Come on Andrew, pull your digit out!*nick_h wrote:I'm getting a bit concerned that we're never going to get this book. If 2 thirds have been shipped can the people who have had their copy post here ....
*Only kidding boss.

Another 2 years and no book 
Being serious for a while, I am not worried about it turning up and I know it will be a great book, I just hate waiting..
When I pre-ordered the book I was told it would be available in March though

Yep got my email a few days ago that its on its way. Saw a preview of the book at the computer show and it looks superb, cant wait to get it to go along with my Speccy/C64 books also.
Hopefully should be coming next few days-a week.

The first two are fantastic, I just hope the 8-bit book isn't the last one..
When we interviewed the two Andrews for WGaX and spoke about the possible future books, I wanted them right away..!

It's not easy playing all those games and writing about them...Opa-Opa wrote:The first two are fantastic, I just hope the 8-bit book isn't the last one..

Seriously, the Amiga book is still in development, and when you get your copy of the 8-Bit Book you'll see an advertisement for other forthcoming titles. Jerry is going to start writing another, and Andrew and I are writing one each at the moment.

Mine arrived today, thanks to everyone involved.
Splink!

Mine turned up yesterday. Thanks for the hardback upgrade (no. 006!). Very generous.
I look forward to immersing myself in it, and firing up some emulation, when I can find a few quiet moments to myself.
