Looks like they probably got a discount on shipping as well, since there are more than 10 up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sixersfan105 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I've been thoroughly enjoying the color version for several weeks now. Job well done, @nanochess! Also enjoyed the forward by Ms. Jaquays; interesting to hear things from her insider perspective. Now you just need to get the post-crash games and release a supplement ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafer Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I really hope we eventually see a “Colecovision Homebrew games guide” someday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyzzle Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Unfortunately, I believe he indicated earlier on that he wasn't going to be producing a book on post-crash games, since he couldn't play or have access to a very large number of them. No .roms available and / or sold out, and he couldn't afford current Ebay prices, etc. Such a shame, but perhaps he could write a book on those homebrews that he is able to play / have access to!

Loafer Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Absolutely. Also he’s a man with a rep so It’s very possible for the sake of a review some of the vendors could loan him carts or provide access to the rom for the sake of the review.

mingus Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Just received my book yesterday, nanochess - it's fantastic! Really glad I ordered the color edition! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingus Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Left my book at work on Friday, but had a chance to stop by the office and thumb through it today. I see myself getting a lot of use out of this. So much so that I'm considering picking up a second copy (B&W edition) though as a "working copy" for referencing more often. Thanks again for all your hard work! -James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Updated the first post with pictures of the color book. Also added links for buying the color edition and previewing the contents. Now it's a good time to order your book if you want to have it ready for Christmas gifts Lulu has again the ONESHIP coupon code for free mail shipping until Nov/14.

zyzzle Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 A positive suggestion for your pictures showing off the book: please use uncompressed .PNG format, as there are bad compression artifacts in your JPEG pictures. People, including myself, may be unsure if these fringing artifacts are a part of the printed book or not. Especially when zooming in, the print quality doesn't look good, probably due to the compression artifacts introduced by the lossy compression of your pictures, and not due to the color offset printing press. At least, that's the hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, that's the hope. I cannot control the preview (probably lower quality as Google Books serves previews for millions of people) but the final print is very high quality without artifacts. In fact as you said I used PNG files for the screenshots. I've a lot of experience on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
