Arenafoot Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Just added my review. Hope you don't stop at Volume 2. Thank You!!! Only 2 more titles to go for volume 2. I'm thinking maybe a "Holiday Homebrew" book either next or after volume 3...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 i added the book to my amazon wishlist. Quick question: how photo heavy is it? If it's equal amount of photos and text, it may be wirth the upcharge to me gettinv the color version. However if there's a lot of text and only a few photos, thd black and white edition might be more economical. Thanks.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's equal amount of photos and text, it may be wirth the upcharge to me gettinv the color version. However if there's a lot of text and only a few photos, thd black and white edition might be more economical. Thanks.... In volume 1, for most of the game titles, there is a title screenshot, game screenshot and if there was room - a picture of the label, box, or CIB pics. I would say its 25% pics and 75% words - if that helps you out. There was enough interest in a full-color version to make the same book in color. the only difference is the cover and title, as Amazon will not allow two books with the same title uploaded. Amazon charges a very high price per page for full-color books, so that is why the price is so high on the "Deluxe Edition". Try this: go to the Kindle version on Amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/Atari-2600-Homebrew-Companion-Video-ebook/dp/B07CT8L73Q/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1529951104&sr=1-1 click the "Look inside" link (or the cover pic on the left) - this will show you more preview pages than the B&W and Color version do, for some reason - I did ask Amazon to show a few more pages on the B&W one and they changed the Kindle instead) Hope this helps with your decision!
