Yes, I read a couple of sour comments on social media and some of that was from a former member of this site. I will never understand all the pettiness that comes forth when someone is trying to genuinely create a piece of work that we will all enjoy. I look forward to seeing my name in print 😉😝
For the record, Alien verses Predator on the Atari Jaguar holds a Guinness World Record!

I don't understand either but this is how people can be.

Actually some of the comments aim at the book are valid and Darren knows my opinion on them, a few mistakes on his part aloud people to pull the book apart, I am not sure the tone of it was justified, the comments and so on in some cases merely pointed to a few errors of judgement and again, unlike most people Darren stood up and took it on the chin but again, and I must stress, some of it was said in the wrong way.

Anyway, you all can hear it first, Darren is in discussion with a well known ex gaming magazine editor to edit the book, once this is confirmed and official then it will be announced via the KS page.

Firstly, I wish to thank you both and all the incredible Kickstarter backers they believed in me and the project, It was some journey with great aspirations of trying to fulfil what has been lacking in a video game book for the great Atari 8-bit computer that more or less went under-appreciated for the last couple of year while the c64 and ZxSpectrum got book galore! I needed to address that.

So it has be an amazing experience and learnt so much in the way these things are done and managed and have a remaining surplus stock that is available for those that missed the kick starter and wanted a piece of the Atari: Visual History experience from Greyfox Books,  so if anyone reading this is curious please visit the website @ www.greyfoxbooks.com

And for those of enjoying the book, it would help the book tremendously if you, when you have completed the book lent us your thoughts of the book in the review section of the site. I would highly grateful. Again I can't say thank you enough. It's still sinking in..I'm actually an author and publisher now..😲

This is a super cool book, some of you would have read negatives around the web, Darren acknowledge them, he sort to fix them and appointed a well renowned editor to fix a lot of issues, designs were fixed, and much more, yes... some people will find issues if your looking for them, for me this book is one excellent first attempt.

I suppose I'll be the one to write a review of it.  ;)

In the interest of being impartial, that is probably the best idea lol.
