I would subscribe to it

Ditto! I am coming into this late in the game, but this is rather exciting to see. Count another for the list of 'definite adopters' should this come to pass.

Would an option be to make a once a year publication with all of say "2012"/"2013" and so on in hard copy?

Considering my lack of output in the last year...

I'm more likely to make it volumes - each volume would fill a folder and be comprised of several 'issues' (e.g. blocks of 50 pages each perhaps)

This will not be complete without some Sparky numbered sticker pages!

Really liking the idea, now, not to sound like a nag, but is there still a place to download the PDFs for tablet enjoyment?

The links for http://pixel-nation.co.uk/?nr=0 seem to be borked.....

I saw some pics of the french "pc engine bible" limited edition. It's two books I think in the shape of a IFU system. I would love to see something like your magazines in a compiled collection like that.

I found out recently that Pixel Nation seems to have vanished so not at the moment. You used to be able to download them direct from my page on issuu.com but I think the option is gone now. If you're desperate I could email them to you.

Yeah so would I, but it would cost ££££££££££££££££££££££££ to produce unfortunately.

From the figures I looked at today, 100 pages (50 sheets) would likely cost somewhere in the realm of £15 - £20. That's not including postage or any binders. Sounds quite pricey compared to an off the shelf magazine, but when you're probably only making 20-30 copies there's not much I can do to reduce that.

Question for everyone - should I keep the printed version to just reviews, or shall I also feature things like the 'Top Banana' (versus matches) and 'Final Countdown' (top 10s)?

I think those really added to the mags personality. Keep 'em.

Definitely, definitely keep the extra content, it gives it personality, I'm a big fan of the quirky UK humour, in fact for me it's exactly that, that makes the fanzine great.

At the moment I've managed to fit in all the reviews, all the versus (Top Banana) and Top 10s and a couple of other random pages and still have 13 pages to fill, so it looks like I can add some exclusive extra reviews just for this collection.

I'm currently thinking about how best to approach the binder artwork, probably a collage of sorts, but I've not decided yet.
