+nanochess Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Since my book sales broke several of my own records (and thanks to everyone for that!) I was willing to do a kind of celebration, but instead I passed the whole morning searching in Pixabay and designing this old-style advertisement. Enjoy it! Bonus points if you discover from where I got the idea Happy New Year! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 A few days ago, a reader sent me a bookplate to sign. I signed it and returned it. I didn't know about bookplates. It is easier than shipping a whole book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm half way through it, it's inspired me to resume coding on Atari (still not the 2600 yet, but it makes it seem like I can actually do something on it).

Typically a bookplate is just a small square of paper you paste inside the front cover of a book. It usually gives details such as the name of the owner of the book, embossed or in some way looking fairly fancy. So the idea here is you send the bookplate to the book author, ask them to sign/dedicate it and return it to you - and then you paste it into your book. Bookplates were very common in the 19th century. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad the book inspired you I've been receiving very nice comments about the book, and it feels good. 15 hours ago, Andrew Davie said: Typically a bookplate is just a small square of paper you paste inside the front cover of a book.

Bookplates were very common in the 19th century. These were printed labels. It is far more practical, and it is the first time I ever saw a bookplate! By the name, I thought it was an actual metallic plate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the book as a Christmas present, and reading through some of the examples inspired me to pick back up on a game concept I had briefly explored before. I wonder how many homebrews this book will be responsible for? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My book Programming Games for Intellivision (2018) so far has helped to create at least 40 new games for the Intellivision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
