New Book in bound, take alook below..

Introduction

Hello! This campaign is to hopefully produce a new exciting book about the Commodore 64. Unlike other books about the C64, it will celebrate the visual side of the computer. Each spread will feature a beautiful image and a few words. This could be a few games facts, a mini review or even a quote from the developer. I am very pleased to announce that industry legends such as Gary Penn, Robin Hogg, Mevlut Dinc, Dan Phillips and Stephen Thompson (S.I.T) will be contributing to the writing in the book plus many more to be announced soon. This will be the first book by new publisher Bitmap Books who specialise in high-end books all about computer games.

The Commodore 64 played a massive part in inspiring me to become a Graphic Designer and from an early age I used to actually look forward to the tape loading sequences because you got to see the stunning loading screen artwork! So this book brings together 2 of by biggest passions; Graphic Design and retro gaming and is something that I have always wanted to do. If funded, it will be a massive achievement for me personally but without you guys hopefully backing it (and me) it won't see the light of day. I feel that the idea is original and something I've not seen before done in this way. My ambition is that the book becomes an item that all Commodore 64 collectors and fans want to own.
