schnuth Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I should be getting my deluxe edition next week with this month's comics. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Has the deluxe edition's limited edition print been shown anywhere? Not yet. I didn't get a chance to share a pic of it yet. Will try and do it some time later today after I land in Portland. It looks amazing. For those of you who will be at PRGE, I'll see you there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Wonder007 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I've had mine since Saturday. You are going to be blown away with the book- the quality, information, etc. It is definitely worth the wait and price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Got it shortly before 2pm today, and just in a little flipping through it, it is truly a wonderful resource. I'm going to read it in more detail tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Mine arrived today as well. I have been skimming through it and it looks amazing. Really an awesome book and a must have for any Atari fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I have it - but I'm at work, so I'll unbox it at home where I can properly enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Here's the limited edition print, sitting on the slipcase for size reference. The print is 8x10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 This has been a good month for books! Art of Atari is a big book, and it's absolutely packed! Here's a pic of it next to Super Breakout and the other book I got this month, to give you an idea of the size of it: And to be fair, the other book is actually two volumes, so it's cheating. I've been pouring over Art of Atari for the past hour or so, and I just kept thinking the same thing, over and over... Wow. This is a must have for any Atari fan. The amount of work that has gone into this is astonishing. It's a real treasure trove of Atari art, history and stories, and really shines the light on the people who made all of that incredible artwork happen. The quality is absolutely first-rate. This is not a hastily assembled, quick-print book. The printing is beautiful, and the design is excellent. The artwork is huge, and presented front-and-center as it should be. The original, rejected Pac-Man artwork is mind-blowing. The chapter on "Making things the analog way" brought me back to the days of speccing type and cutting amberlith. Ah... those were the days. (Can't say I really miss them though.) There's so much good stuff, it's going to take me weeks to fully get through it all. Buy this book. Right now. You don't even have to get the Deluxe Edition (but it is oh, so nice). My only (minor) quibble - I wish the industrial design and coin-op sections were bigger. But maybe a sequel? Anyway, just one thing left to say: thank you, Tim! It's awesome. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferghead Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I need to get the deluxe edition of this, it sounds so great. I have to sell some games first though, thank goodness I just cleaned out my game room. Thank you Tim for doing this, I can't wait to read it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Received my copy yesterday and like everyone else am blown away at how good this is. Really looking forward to reading through this and looking at the fantastic art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Received my copy yesterday and, wow! Expectations totally blown away.

ultrasteve Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I got mine today. Tim, you have done such an amazing job on this, it's a thing of beauty. Can't wait to read it all properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednakes1 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Saw it at the Chapters store here in Canada. Price was $52 CDN for hardcover (cheaper online). Book looks great, it's not just artwork, it includes stories and old advertisements, photos of prototypes, etc. Will be a fun read once I get it. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks so much for the kind words, Nathan.I am so glad that you and many others in our community are digging on the book. It means a ton to me! We wanted this to be a book that would satisfy our crowd here, while still appealing to folks who only have a passing familiarity to Atari. Hopefully we succeeded at both.And I too wish we could have done more with Coin-Op and ID, but those were the limits of time and space, and we pushed the boundaries of page count as it is. I appreciate all of you and the support and encouragement and help that came my way during the odyssey it took to make this book. This has been a good month for books! Art of Atari is a big book, and it's absolutely packed!

+HatNJ Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Just got my Deluxe edition today Wow its great sleeve is designed beautifully and sturdy love the Look of it as a cart box and Missile Command is one of my top 3 games so the color is spot on. the book it self looking like a cart is really great the little art poster I found in back cover I may just frame it. The pages inside each cover with screen shots is really cool. I only had time to scan through it a little but its worth a sit down and just read cover to cover. It maybe Art of Atari but the book itself is ART!!!! Wonderful job Will try to leave a review on Amazon where I preordered awhile ago for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
