This is a new book that is supposed to be the definitive guide to every game released for the system. It's been put together by the guys at the Dreamcast Junkyard (//http) and it's available now.
The link to purchase is on their site, however they are waiting for the second batch to be printed so it will be a couple weeks before they start shipping. This is just a couple guys putting this together so they did a small first run to get money to continue which went up on ebay yesterday. It's sold out but I grabbed one in time so I will post some thoughts when it shows up.
The foreword written by Tom Charnock is RVG member Tomleecee. He's pretty passionate about the Dreamcast so this should be good.

Yeah I just looked and it won't load for me either. I saw him mention on Twitter earlier that the 2nd batch was over 50% sold out already, but I doubt they're completely out already. I'll see what I can find out.

Great score bagging one before they were gone! I didn't know anything about this but I want one now too lol.
My library never got huge for the DC and I regret it. Some of the games are mucho expensive now and out of my reach. Looking forward to your thoughts.

I have a pretty good size DC collection but I haven't worked on it in a long time. This book just might get me looking again

Hello, it's Tom - the guy who's name somehow got onto the cover of that book. Appreciate people talking about on here, so thanks for that. It's literally just me ordering these from the printer, packing them up and sending them out at the post office in my lunch break so apologies for any delays in them arriving. If anyone has any issues with the book not turning up just let me know. Cheers all

Well I hope everybody who wanted one of these already has it, as the creators received a cease and desist from Sega! You can read about it here (//http).
Seems odd to me that they would care about a guide made years after the console was finished, but if you have a copy of it it's now a collectible!

What a respectful exchange. That was nice to read and props to all who were able to acquire these.
Looks like the value will skyrocket. If I had one it would go in the vault with the rest of the priceless gems but I snoozed so I losedÂ

Why Sega felt the need to do this, probably the lawyers rather than anyone with half a brain.

Probably the same lawyers who felt it was a good idea to go after videos of Shining Force playthroughs on YouTube. Posting videos and publishing books about Sega products only generates interest in the brand.

That's incredible, particularly when you consider how small of a project this was. Unfortunate.
