The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore

I haven't got anything else to add since I've not read it, but thought lots of people would be interested in checking it out. |

From A4000 to babyphones, is this really a deep fall?
Yes, it is. BTW: This advert is an 2005 advert. |

I finished it last weekend
Book was really great. Some chapters made me angry but that was not book's fault... |

My copy arrived today I haven't really had a chance to start reading it yet, but it looks a very nice book. Good quality covers and bindings etc, and would recommend it.

Got it, reading it (just around the VIC-20/VIC-1001 era), recommend it heartily.
Great insight, I thought I had a good idea of how things went, but the reality seems to be quite different. :-D |

Is this book for sale in bookstores? I live in Sweden so it'd be nice if it was.
