I live in Norway, so I expect the shipping will be higher, bug that's not an issue... I really want a copy of this book!

Kehil · 02 November 2013, 07:59

viddi · 02 November 2013, 09:55

Threads merged and thread renamed appropriately too

@boyo

Next time, just ask for the thread to be renamed rather than starting an identical (almost) thread

Rob 1 · 05 November 2013, 10:02

That last picture is great, but they can't draw cartoon turtles can they??

boyo · 17 November 2013, 23:33

Here is a sample of the first 15 pages of the book, plus Simon Butler's memoir in full. The book is 264 pages. The paper inside is 155gsm silk and the cover 350gsm. The Ocean logo on the cover will be embossed.

Thanks to Darren Doyle for the book images (mock up)

I hope theres a write up about RoboCop 3 in there...... runs away

Codetapper · 18 November 2013, 01:27

Gary Bracey has denied all the Robocop 3 rumours, saying that none of it was true.

Sorry for hijacking this thread a little, but in other news, I'm starting up a kickstarter campaign myself to write a "History of Tiertex" book, pre-orders are being taken now. Galahad has already indicated he'll want several copies to read on the bus, toilet etc...

It will detail the history of the company and interviewing all their TOP programmers, especially Donald "Rolling Thunder, Street Fighter, Human Killing Machine" Campbell and Dr John "Strider, Dynasty Wars" Prince who released their most memorable titles

no Ian, are you serious or just kidding us ? You already know that they will say :
"huh.....huuuuhhhhhh XD, yeh guys ye know that the ST was the thing above, with its huh....huh...cough....cough very simple yet straight disk format/loader/disk drive....
