Seeing as I've known the guy for years and years, I'm sure he's not gonna mind me plugging his new project here ;)

You can now pre-order your copy of "The Commodore 64 Book 1982 - 19xx" from the website at:

http://c64goldenyears.com

This is the follow-up to Andrew Rollings' ZX Spectrum Book that was released at the end of 2006. You can find out more about that title at http://zxgoldenyears.com

Author Andrew Fisher, who has written for magazines including Commodore Force, Commodore Format and Retro Gamer, will be covering over 200 classic (and not so classic) Commodore titles, with fascinating trivia about the machine, the programmers and companies and the games themselves.

Note that the book will have a limited print run, and pre-ordering will help guarantee the book goes to print.

English based no doubt, or does he cover the USA and huge German C-64 scene?

Yeah limited print run means the costs are a lot higher. I believe they will only be pressing 1000 copies of it.

As for the coverage, Andrew has a lot of C64 experience like myself so I'm sure he's gonna pick a good selection of games from across the years and globe. I could always nag him a bit and find out a few heh...
