There is only one week left t preorder Ralph Baer's book and to receive an autographed copy. Only a certain number of copies will be brought to Mr. Baer to autograph and once they run out I will not be able to provide any more autographed copies.

 

Deadline is March 5!

By the way, Ralph did some work for Atari when it was under the Tramiels, including a Download Cartridge for the 2600. The details can be found in the book!

We've been having trouble with the cover for the past two weeks. I'm happy to say that the problems have been corrected and I received the proof yesterday and it looks fantastic! Now that the problems are out of the way the book can finally go into production and hopefully I'll receive them in about two weeks.

 

Preorders, with the 30% discount and Ralph's signature, will be accepted until the books arrive.

Any ideas when it will arrive?  Just anxious.  Thanks!

 

The proofs were returned to the printer on Saturday which means they'll probably receive the proofs on Tuesday. I expect production to start shortly afterwards. At thispoint, it's now out of my hands and in the printer's.

I received a finished (unbound) copy of the book today and it looks fantastic. I have given the printer permission to go ahead and bind them and there's a (slight) chance that they may be shipped to me next week. I will most likely receive them the following week and will take probably take them up to Ralph the weekend of April 1-3 to be signed.
