I know very little about the Amiga and just from the cover alone the book looks very informative.

The book is fantastic and will pick it up sometime this year. my only concerns are how well a french author translates to English logic when it comes to the writing. But I believe they've had good help on this. I was very much in the Demo Scene on the Amiga back in the day myself so this is very appealing to me.
