Epx998 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Got my Art of Atari Deluxe edition today. Awesome book, has some signed print in the back. Looks great. Found my steam code (This was buried in there lol) Edited October 26, 2016 by Epx998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 The Steam code should be on a black and white card either in the back of the book or in the middle. If it's not, please contact Dynamite and they can help you out. And if people can leave Amazon reviews, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Gabriel Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Got mine today (regular edition). I've been going through it. Looks like I'll be chewing through this one for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFL Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Just wondering if anyone in the UK or Europe has got their copy yet? I haven't heard anything from Forbidden Planet and I'm getting really jealous of all you North American dudes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.E.R.O. Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 It's here. It's awesome. Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveD Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Received my copy yesterday too. I've only skimmed the surface of what the book offers but I am impressed. Not only is it well-designed and written but it represents what must have been a herculean effort in tracking down finished art, concept art, artists, and info. There are sections on the software, hardware, artists, advertising & promotions and much more. I absolutely love the huge pictures that show all the art details that were lost to the printing processes or size limitations of the time. The 2-page cropped image of the Moon Patrol art that even shows the texture of the pencil and board is amazing. I could look at that stuff all day long. Fantastic job, Tim! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFL Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Mine was delivered from Amazon UK yesterday. I got an email at around 4 this afternoon saying it's dispatched. Hopefully have it by Saturday. Thanks for replying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Just ordered on Amazon... think I'll do a video review when it arrives! Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 My copy arrived yesterday and I just arrived from a business trip. Feeling like a kid again as I remove the book from its slip case and glance through the many images captured within. Really like the Industrial Design and Prototypes sections. The leather bound cover is great and the label on the cover pays homage to all those great Atari carts. One can see the care that went into this project. I know that I will spend many hours looking through this book, again and again. Thank you Tim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achtbits Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Living in medieval Germany I won't get the book delivered until November 4 and the Deluxe Edition is nowhere to be seen for buying here around. So disappointed about this situation, but can't wait for delivery in about a week. Edited October 28, 2016 by achtbits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninoy1995 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Got mine two days ago. This is an awesome piece of work! When I was a kid I wished that somehow, there is a compilation of the Artworks of all Atari games that came out back in the day. This is it. Just a thought, including maybe some of the Atari catalogs would have been real nice too, but like what I said, this is perfect! Thank you Tim !!!

Gregory DG Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 My video review is up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Place Logo Here Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Received the standard edition this week. It is hard to describe it as "standard" as this is a beautifully designed, printed and bound volume. I especially appreciate the size--large enough to see fine detail in many of the illustrations but still small enough to sit with comfortably. Absolutely perfect and the new standard bearer for books about video games. Thank you for this amazing work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Living in medieval Germany I won't get the book delivered until November 4 and the Deluxe Edition is nowhere to be seen for buying here around. So disappointed about this situation, but can't wait for delivery in about a week. I'm gonna get mine from Amazon UK, they got plenty in stock.

lapetino Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Thanks again, all! I am honestly blown away by the response here. Again, this was a book I wanted as a fan and as a creative, so it's heartening to know that our AtariAge community digs the book this much. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Got mine today. Wife says I've been bugging her incessantly for the past 4 days about its arrival, but I think I've only asked her about it 3 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level42 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Damn, I've been waiting for this book ! Now.....sadly I see a price-tag of over 90 euro's on Amazon.de for the Deluxe edition, while I've seen prices of under $70 (=64 Euro) on this thread in the US. That's a pretty steep price difference.....but I guess that's all about import duties and shipping.... The Target link shows it's not available there anymore by the way.... Is the Deluxe Edition a limited run only ? If so how many were made and will it be a one-time only run ? Well I've decided I could not justify the huge gap in price, just ordered the standard edition for about 37 euro incl. delivery from Amazon.de Edited October 31, 2016 by Level42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achtbits Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I also just yesterday detected that the Deluxe Edition is available on amazon.de. The item title did not clearly indicate it, but it's mentioned in the item details and the photo. So I just ordered this one too in addition to the Standard Edition which I couldn't cancel anymore now, I was one day late, geez. And yes, 90EUR is clearly a rip-off over here. So the book better be good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It seems that you can order directly at Amazon.com for $29.41/$73.32 and still ship to Germany. That might save you some money if you can wait a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It's probably to early, but a sequel with all the third party art would be great (Activision, Imagic, Parker Bros, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tremoloman2006 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Tom, you did an AMAZING job! This book has exceeded all my expectations! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
