Great work on an unusual topic in the history of Commodore.
Full disclosure: I am one of the Commodore Pioneers interviewed in this book.
The book is impressive. It is almost 400 pages and interviews over 30 pioneers. The book printing is excellent.
It has an excellent balance of photos and text.
At Commodore's heyday in the early 1980s, I was in a virtual foxhole not able to see what other companies were doing. This book shows me what else was going on at the time that I was not aware of.
This book is not a linear history of the history of Commodore. It is about the people who were part of this incredibly exciting time.
My company, Victory Software, was just a tiny player compared to the big boys like Activision, Sierra On-Line, and Electronic Arts. I'd like to thank Mr. Pachetti for including me.
Let's not have anyone thinking this is just a vanity publication like Who's Who, even if everyone that was featured in the book bought a copy (all 30 or so), there is no way it would have paid for the printing of the book.
If you do buy a copy, the photo for me is incorrect (my fault for not submitting my photo in time for publication), so feel free to print out my photo and paste it over page 345.
Fantastic quality print on the old screenshots. These books are great.
Reading this book now, bought both volume I and II, goes into a lot of detail about the pirate community scene and the people involved (even if it is a bit too Atari ST based, I was an Amiga fan lol). Really enjoying reading the book.
