17 December 2023 - 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!

9 July 2022 Really enjoyable history of Psgynosis, with great interviews from developers, graphic and muscial artists. Detailing the various development companies and relations between them along with the games published themselves. All with high quality pictures and a nice touch of QR codes to follow external video links for various interviews. Psygnosis - Games people play Tome OneMr David Sandilands
