Gregory DG Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 Thanks for making it available again. I just ordered mine just a few minutes ago. Looking forward to receiving it No problem! Glad to do it! Having the books at CafePress.com will make my life a lot easier, that's for sure. Unlimited runs are a huge plus and I don't have to do all the mailing by myself! Plus, the quality of their work is the best I've ever seen. One thing to keep in mind though, even after the book has shipped, it takes all of those 10 days they mention for it to arrive. That was the one thing they could improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Yes I saw that. You could pay another $2 to reduce that time in half but I am not that much in a rush to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 Here's an interesting link: http://www.matranet.net/BACK/MAR2K4/01/ There is also a more detailed review of the 2002 Year End Issue. http://www.matranet.net/BACK/FEB2K3/05/ I only wish they had gotten the CafePress versions! I know they would have liked them better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 You know, adding a couple of foreign language or bilingual reviews to TAT may not be such a bad idea! Gotta keep up that reputation of "muy fantastico webzine" for Atarians everywhere, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 Well, I'm in the middle stages of getting the original newsletters compiled into a book, but I need some suggestions. I'm working on the cover, but I just don't know what to put on it! I have a basic idea (see below) but what to put in the big space below? I was thinking about maybe Pong, (first newsletters, first Atari game) but that's in B&W. I want something that has a lot of color to justify the color cover. Any ideas?
