Sounds cool.  How much?

I've bought similar books for other things I'm interested in because reference books are cool. If the price is right I'd bite.

Hahaha!!!! Worst guy ever to have marketing/promoting your stuff...

Having vandalized his previous thread which provided information on what the actual product will be, now he makes a poll asking if we'll want to buy it with next to no info... WHAT sense does that make ?

Can't see anything other than "Print is forever. Est. 2001," he put the forum in maintenance mode.

But now I know why he keeps repeating "Print is forever," it's a chosen tagline apparently.

Only a madman such as Japjac can make sense of that and yeah, poor Richard Gibbs, he did get the worst person ever to interview him, it's quite clear that Japjac only cares about promoting himself, "Print is forever" is his very own "For the love of it".

Welcome gentlemen. Make your time.

Why do I always have to think of "All your base are belong to us" when reading such taglines?

They tried to make me do a recap

I'm not a fan of people deleting old posts for essentially no reason.  But regardless, who is Richard Gibbs?  What's this book?  Is it a reprinting of something old, is it something new? 

I'd click "Don't know" in the poll but it looks like I can't vote?  Whatevz.

You'd have an idea of who he is if JapanJac hadn't replaced his posts in the previous thread with spam messages, the same as he did with his Hall of Shame CPS Changer thread.

No, we already have our guy, sunteam_paul

I guess the exclusive Japjac forums were so popular they permanently crashed.

Exactamundo.

We know what guide books are, but who is Richard Gibbs ?? Should I have heard of him before ? I haven't, and if I have to leave your marketing thread to use Google, you're doing a piss poor job of it! When you're lazy at the basics or WEIRD, the reader isn't gonna have a lot of trust for the end result if you're involved somehow, so you're NOT helping...

You wanna gauge interest for a product, you make a presentation with photos/images/etc. but most of all, a persuasive, detailed pitch, instead of relying on name-dropping somebody the reader might not know...

He threw up this, but deleted it:



Then made this thread will less info other than PCE Guide Book and Richard Gibbs... WHY ?

He's hawking an updated book made from a 96 page fan magazine put out by Richard Gibbs in 1993.  It was filled with game reviews, tips and codes, and short blurbs on games, hardware, and accessories;'twas very much a fan production with hand lettering, fan art, and collage compositing (note the yellowed cellophane tape in the above scan) and printed via xerox copying.

Though quite rough around the edges, the original is pretty interesting (it's in the turbob archives).  Depending on price and quality of revisions, I'd be interested in buying an updated version, but only if Gibbs is involved and getting the lion's share of profits.
