The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers
« on: September 17, 2014, 03:48:22 pm »
I just received this book after backing it on Kickstarter. It is seriously one of the best books in my collection now, I can't recommend it enough, I can't find anything else like it.

Where can I buy it? I found a book with the same name on Amazon, but the frontpage is different.

There's some links in the description box on the YouTube page. You probably did find the right one on Amazon, but the front and back cover here are exclusive to the Kickstarter tier I backed. Everything else is the same though.

http://www.amazon.com/Untold-History-Japanese-Game-Developers/dp/0992926009/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-1&keywords=untold+history+of+japanese+game+developers

It seems like they also discounted it by $10. But if you're the charitable kind, I say order from his Createspace store, since he gets a better deal through there and I hope that will help him make the next volume. But it's your choice, I'll admit I'd hesitate to turn down saving $10.
