lulu.com?

 

 

yes

in fact I use that, but if you have other suggestions please... because lulu is expensive :-)

also, any suggestion for new contents is good for me to update the work...

 

I plan to add aquarius and I need to improve the variants classification.... sometime is not easy to figure out how to show in a book this kind of information that is typical web oriented :-)

Looks pretty good, but one suggestion, maybe have the intv console horizontal instead of vertical. I like how it is partial shown though.

Looks great. Not to criticize, but should "interview to developers" be "interview with developers"?

 

thanks for the correction

I may work a bit more to refine the cover, will see...

 

improvements ideas I have so far to keep working are:

- change the prototype section to a more stable layout with 2 titles per page

- add hardware section with all the console variants (for this, I need good pictures from people that own those consoles)

- change the paper format to a smaller version

- add aquarius game value list

 

there are surely many improvements I hope you can suggest me as soon you have hands on the guide...

the english is under revision, as soon as this is done, I'll distribute

Maybe instead of lulu.com. Maybe try amazon.com . OR SELL IT ON YOUR WEBSITE AND EBAY. How much is the paperback book going to cost.

seel by myself means I have to print in advance... I use a print on demand service at lulu

in fact I charge nothing for myself, all the money goes to Lulu :-/

what's important is to contribute to intv community

couple of question to all collectors:

 

- who you suggest to contact for make interview to be added to the Guide? I just added Zbiciack and Harley interview.... suggestions?

- do you think a short section about intv III and IV would be interesting? I wonder if all the available docs about intv IV are copyright of intellivision production so I could not use that.....

The console variants idea is a good one. Start a thread asking for high quality images with a list of all the variants you're looking for. Also include things people should do for the pictures (like cleaning their systems before taking photos).

 

I'm sure people will step up.

I guess I could take care of this, I do have all 10 variations somewhere in the vault. :)

you mean with boxes as well?

 

can you provide separate pic of console and boxes?

an issue is the background... how to set a white background (in catalog style) or maybe black (more fancy).. if you like to, send me your opinion

thanks

Yep, with boxes, although the tenth one is on its way from Brazil as we speak so for the Digiplay 2 we'd have to wait probably three to four weeks, but I do have the Intellivision 1, the Intellivision 2, the INTV 3, the Super Pro, the GTE/Sylvania Intellivision, the Tandyvision, the Sears Video Arcade, the Bandai Intellivision, and the Digimed Intellivision 1 CIB right now. I have a loose Digiplay 2, with the CIB one on its way as mentioned.

 

As for colour, the black background would be my choice.
