Hi,
I've seen there is a cool book currently looking for funds, its about the AMIGA Demoscene.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/demo ... 17445935#/
It's quite unique I thought, and probably would not get released any other way so I hope it is ok to post? Makes a change from the normal type of AMIGA books.
Also, don't worry the book will be in English.

Re: Demoscene book on Indigogo
Looks like an interesting project, tempted to back it. I'm also considering "From Vultures to Vampires" on Kickstarter. I've already backed the more ST oriented "Crackers" on Indigogo.

Re: Demoscene book on Indigogo
Given the number of failed Kickstarter books of the same type, including two I backed before I got wise, I'd steer clear.
(The first I backed was a game book based upon "Elite: Dangerous" (in 2013) where the author took the money and just disappeared. The second, just after, was a coffee table history of Elite book. After about a year and one PDF of a chapter the author just stopped responding. Apparently he got bored and moved on to a Nintendo book. I don't know if he finished that or not.)
