Bought it. Read it. Enjoyed it. It's a bit light on text, with lots of empty/wasted space and unnecessary photos of loading screens and game ads, but I'm looking forward to book 2.

Uhmm I don't bought this book yet  :rant: , I think have to be really interesting...

Another good point I don't see in the forum (Extarnge beacuse It's an UK production) it's this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2404567/ , when Spectrum goes to the live to millions of kids (similar in Spain).

I have to buy because I read have subtitles in a lot of idioms, I'm sure in Spanish it's ready, we wrote for they put something translate...

Thanks for the advertising of the Spectrum book.

I felt the same way on some of those items you mentioned - also said that if they show inlay cards as images they need to big enough to read. And the credits need to say who did what for each game...buit overall a JOY to behold - and that new-book-smell wow!

I had the C64 book for a short time - it was nice, but once read, you don't really need to read it again.
