The manuscript for my next book, which will cover the Genesis, TurboGrafx-16and Neo Geo, is due at the publisher by the end of the year. This means that it will be published in the Summer of 2011 (or shortly thereafter).

*Photos

*277 pages
*A book you will refer to again and again

Does the DP store carry it? If they do, I might pick it up there.

Unfortunately, no. Amazon is the best place to get it. Or, you can order it direct from me (send me a PM for details if interested). Thanks...

When you click on that link (which I just tried and it worked), it should take you to a page that says McFarland at the top. Below that there are several links to pages.
