Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile since I've been on the NA boards, so I thought I would post some updates.

I'm working on the fourth and final book in the "Classic Home Video Games" series. It will cover the SNES, Jaguar, CD-i, 3DO, and other consoles from that time. I'm making good progress, but publication is still at least a year away.

I recently wrapped up an encyclopedia on the rock band KISS, and it will be out during the spring or summer of 2016.

My 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987 book is available at Barnes & Noble stores, and on Amazon. Check out the Retroist's review:

I also self-published a book called Retro Pop Culture A to Z: From Atari 2600 to Zombie Films:

Any word on CHVG 89-90 coming in paperback?
I got the first two in paperback, but would have gone hardback if I would have known third was only hardback.
Gotta keep the collection uniform you know

More people ask this than any other question. My publisher tells me they are running fairly low on hardcover copies and will do a softcover sometime in 2016. I'll keep you posted in this thread. Thanks!

Thanks for watching!
