It's back... Pre-orders for Commodore: The Amiga Years!

[r***@iglou.com]

Yes, you read right! Brian Bagnall's cancelled book, "Commodore: The Amiga Years," is uncancelled and is back for pre-order at Amazon.com. Go to

http://www.amazon.com/Commodore-Amiga-Years-Brian-Bagnall/dp/0994031009/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432530897&sr=8-1&keywords=commodore+the+amiga+years

The book is the second in the series, the first being "Commodore: A Company on the Edge." The first book covered Commodore Business Machines from 1973 to 1984. The second book should cover CBM from 1984 to 1994. The first book was an expansion of first half of the original, single book, "On the Edge: the Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore."

If the second book expands on what was related in the last half of "On the Edge," then not only is the story of the Amiga told but also the stories of CBM's other computers in those later years -- the Commodore 128, the Commodore LCD, the Commodore 900, the Commodore 65, the Commodore 64GS, and the Commodore 64C.

Hello! I'm Brian Bagnall and I want to tell you the story of Commodore during the Amiga years. Commodore produced my favorite computers in the eighties and for years I waited for someone to write a book about those incredible times. Strangely, it seemed like publishers were only interested in talking about Apple, Microsoft and IBM. It's time to give the Commodore Amiga some credit as the first commercially successful multimedia computer.

Take a journey from Amiga's beginnings in 1982 to when Commodore filed for bankruptcy in 1994. Dozens of brilliant and motivated engineers produced a computer with graphics, sound and multitasking capabilities years ahead of Apple and IBM. A lot happened in that decade, and this book will describe to you the most relevant parts in a definitive history of the Amiga story and Commodore's final descent..."
