I posted this in the Events forum but figured it was worthy enough to appear here also:

I haven't seen any notice of this yet so I might as well anounce it here.

As everyone probably knows, Bill Kunkel, co-founder of Electronic Games magazine, and author of the new book Confessions of A Game Doctor, will be attending VGXPO on November 12, to sign copies of the book (which will debut at the show).

In addition to Bill's presence at the Rolenta Press booth, Ralph Baer, the legendary inventor of home videogames, will also be attending to autograph his book Videogames: In The Beginning!

If you already have a copy of Ralph's book, he'll be more than happy to sign it.

This naturally is pending and everything depends upon Ralph's health (he is 83) and his wife's health. Check here for updates if the situation changes.

By the way, I'll be there signing copies of the 2nd edition of ABC To The VCS, for anyone who may want it :-P

I've already got an autographed "Videogames" book, but it'd be nice to meet Ralph and hear some stories. Seems like a genuinely interesting guy. Can't wait.

Is Ralph Baer's book being sold at the show too?
Or is it only if they have the book?

How much are books 2, 3, and 4 going to be? I need to know how much to bring. Are we allowed to take pictures with RB?

#1 retails for $30 and #2 retails for $21. Both will probably be discounted a little at the show. The price for #3 has not been set yet and #4 is $30.

Photos are allowed.

Can't wait to meet Ralph. Should be great to meet the man who invented the modern video game! Looking forward to seeing everyone again next month!
