Book: Commodore The Amiga Years
 
According to Amazon this book becomes available on 1 october but if memory serves me right this book had previously broken release dates.

Does anyone know if this release date is actually correct?

Commodre The Amiga Years
 
Hi to everyone,
I came across this book that will be soon on libraries. I already got Commodore a Company on the Edge by the same author and for me it's a quiet good book.But the second one, I think, is a must for every Amiga maniac :)
http://www.amazon.com/Commodore-Amig.../dp/0973864990

Indeed, the original book and the early years version were both brilliant. Now we just have to wait for the release date!

Well I am nearly at the end of Commodore a Company on the Edge and can honestly say its been a very interesting read and will be getting the next part

stainy 19 September 2012 16:16

yeah I`m half way through on the Edge.. Amiga one ordered :) shall collect at Leadenhall Waterstones on my way to work on release day :)

It's pretty damn useless to start a second thread about the same book when my post isn't even of the main page.

Do people actually read anything here..... ?

Retrofan 22 September 2012 00:36

No idea, but I hope someone will update this thread when it will be for sale. I liked the first part. Perhaps Amigakit know more?

Quite so. Thanks. Threads merged. :great

At the moment it looks like this book has not been released. This is what Amazon says anyway and I didn't get a shipping notification.

I have asked the publisher weeks ago about when it is released but I haven't heard anything yet. Has anyone some more information?

When it is available for resale, we will be adding it to our webstore.

Just got a message from Amazon saying they are trying to obtain a new release date.

Apparently the publisher didn't even notify a new release date.

I haven't seem to be able to access variantpress.com for a couple of days now (the publisher). however, judging by the IPG it is about to arrive next month:

The first book were such a great read i'm really looking forward to this one.

stainy 03 October 2012 22:32

Waterstones are telling me that it`s not even at their warehouse :(

540 pages of Amiga glory... will hopefully be a good read! Hope they release eBook version so I can get it to 'read out' on phone during driving :P

Or is it everybody else who is wrong? ;) ...

PulsatingQuasar 16 October 2012 20:39

Still no book and no reaction from the publisher. That isn't looking good.

Their website also is still gone. It's like they dropped of the face of the earth.

Paul_s 16 October 2012 20:58

Probably gone through the Medhi Ali printing press of doom! :lol

They've been putting this book on/off for months now. I got fed up of waiting and gave up!
