What you can see here is the limited edition pack which includes the reissue of Volume 1 (the Coregrafx side) and the all new volume 2 (the CD-RomĀ² side) in an IFU box.

FOLKS, don't be frightened by French. A tremendous amount of the content in these books is accessible with basic skills. AND, even if you are totally clueless with the language, the layout and graphic design is top-notch and enjoyable from a purely aesthetic point-of-view.

Call me crazy, but I'd suggest picking this up simply to marvel at a homegrown effort to document the PCE.

THEY ARE OUR FRENCH COMRADES, AFTER ALL.



NOTE: If my post leaves you unconvinced, you should watch some films by Jean-Luc Godard, at the very least.

I have the original Volume 1, but DAMN, I'm so tempted to re-purchase it for the beauty pictured in your post.

These are the books about the PC Engine that I wrote in. The Interface Unit is the collector version including special versions of both volumes. The Coregrafx volume is about Hucards and the CD part is about CD games. Of course, there are lots of things to read other than the reviews of every single PCE game (except Mysterious Song, I didn't have enough time to include it).

The 2 other books are the regular versions. The first volume was 1st published in 2009 here in France but the 2000 copies went out of stock almost 2 years ago now so this is an upgraded reprint (16 pages added).

So basically, you've got more than 400 pages of absolute obey (in french though).

So, can we get a couple of pics of the inside of the books?

Also, where can this be found, and why am I just now learning of this AFTER I sent Necromancer my Secret Santa wish list?   ](*,)


--Well, I just watched the video, so that served to whet my appetite for more pics!--

Unfortunately, the collector set was only available for preorder, that are now over.

You can order the books at amazon.fr or directly from the editor's website (Pix N Love).
