Hi retro gamers,
I'm Martijn Koch from the Netherlands, and I am making a new book about handheld games.

I found a publisher that is joining efforts, one of the best art-book printing/publishing firms in the Netherlands Lecturis, but I need some money to get the book press ready (they take the risk of the print).
Next Tuesday at 09.00 CET I launch my campaign on Indiegogo, and to make it a success, I need to pre-sell roughly 300 copies.
It will be 276 pages, 25x31 cm, 1.7 kg (about the max that fits into your post box) with nova-space wide-gamut inks to show the nice colours the best possible.
The campaign will be here:

Nice project! I know some of our members here really are into handheld systems, so I'm sure this will be something of interest to them.

Yes, I'm happy with the first 12 hours! I'm giving away a boxed Guerre des Astres (Same as Grandstand Firefox 7) to one of the first 48hour backers.
