I already posted the link on the previous page but HERE it is again. You can also buy it from WHSmith too. It is £9 from the Imagine shop and £10 in newsagents.

Here is mine and Trek's copy making some new friends  :D

Don't bite my head of but this felt more like a magazine than a book and for £10 I want it to be a book.

lol..then you'll have to purchase the bible of all Atari bibles..the Atari Inc. : Fun is Business,  if you want a proper sized book, and weighting in with 800 pages, I would say that fits your inquiry

Well it is advertised as a bookazine. 212 pages with no adverts in glossy colour print is great value for £10 IMO.

I also like the way they didn't just reprint all the articles from RG exactly the same like they did with the Spectrum and Commodore bookazines. They actually re-designed all of them so the whole look of the publication is the same.

So... is all the content pulled from Retro Gamer back issues and re-formatted to a consistent layout? Or is there any new, exclusive content beyond an introduction?

Yes, there is no new content as such.

Thanks! If it shows up locally next month I might buy it just to have all the Atari articles in one volume, but I won't spend too much or make an extra effort to import since I already have every issue of the magazine. :)

Coolness.  :)  Eagerly waiting for my copy. 

Going to the final frontier, gaming...
