9 July 2022 Bonjour, je sais que le bouquin n'est pas encore sorti mais juste une petite suggestion : pourquoi ne pas créer une chaine Youtube "Edition 64K" avec une playlist des différentes démos présentes dans les bouquins ? Ca éviterais de scanner un QRCode pour aller voir la démo en question. Merci pour tout le travail et Viva Amigaaaaaaa !!!!

21 May 2025 I received my books after a rather longer than expected shipping delay but as soon as I unpacked my order of all 4 available books - all worries were gone:
- Pristine Quality
- Beautifully done and more-than-awesome layout
- Packaged professionally, not a single dent in any of the books
I'm in awe at the pure beauty of these books and it's wonderful content. For the asked price, this is beyond anyone's expectations!
Don't think too long, put them in the basket and buy them - you won't regret!Demoscene the Amiga yearsJakeTheDog
