    Default "Tricks of The Nintendo Masters" book *pics*

    Ok, I just found this, and it is so cool!

    First off, it is a very plain and boring book, and orange in colour! All that is on the outside is the title in black text on the binding.

    Inside it has pictures (a colour section in the middle!) and reviews, along with cheats and tips.

    A great book, I'd reccommend it to anyone who can find it!

    Now my question, anyone else have it? Was it advertised in any gaming magazine or anything?

    Thats AWESOME.
    Where di you find it? I am going to have to try and find one myself now. Than again by the spelling of color i am guessing your no US and there for this book might not be either... that would be such a let down.


    Hahahaha your from Ma i am a retard... anyways where did you find it?

    it probably had a glossy jacket originally? most hard covers look like that naked.

    i'd like to see a few more pictures of some of the material

    Haha, yah, I have an English background... sorry lol!

    I got it off of ebay actually, seems to have been withdrawn from the Corpus Christi, TX library.

    According to the description, it was a softcover rebound into hardcover.

    Oh, and BTW, it is written by Ed Tiley, and it seems like his family were the ones that tested all the games!

    One of the people in the credits is Lou Tiley... I wonder if it's the same as Lou Tiley's Sports Connection?

    OH! I'd be ALL over that book! I'll have to keep a eye on EBay for it!

    I'll do a check online to see if I can find any info on it.

    Hey, got it!

    Amazon has a number of copies up for sale, as well as some additional info:

    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books

    aaron, how is the book itself? Worth spending some $10 on? Most hint books from that period were awfull with their information and not very accurate at all.

    I think I might have a copy. I'm currently 1000 miles from home or I'd check. I have roughly 15 different hint books that have come in over the past 2-3 years with ebay purchases.
    Completed 60+ trades here on digital press.

    Yeah I have that book... the softcover version. You can find a couple of them on Ebay even now for about 2-5 bucks

    What date is given for the softcover? The hardcover version is August of 1990, and I imagine the later one has additional content.

    The cover was probably trashed, that's why the cover of your book is hard and orange. It's what library do when books are damaged (my local library do the same thing with damaged/older book)
    Oh eBay! you are such a pain, I am addicted to you like crack cocaine. You offer things I cannot find in stores,You are the pimp, and we are all your whores.

    That's especially the case with softcover books...

    Anyway, nice little find! It's always fun to check out those old strategy guides...
