Meet the family!

In what is probably the last post regarding the Gizmondo book. Today I received my hardback edition, so I'd thought I'd show a photo of the family of Gizmondo book editions.

More versions available!

I've been beavering away to bring you more versions of the book, to give every possible way of viewing this book that's the easiest for you.

We now have a hardback edition too, although it doesn't come cheap at £22.99 which is the lowest price I could bring it too you, the book itself is slightly larger than the paperback edition (dimensions below) and obviously comes with a lovely luxury hardcover to keep it in pristine condition. (I'll be adding a couple of photos here when my copy arrives).

The other versions available are eBook editions, though because there is a variety of eBook readers out there and because not all support each others formats, I've kept the price the same across the board @ £1.99 which is great value for those on more of a budget or prefer to take a digital copy around with them.

Here's the links for all versions of the book;

Proof Copy Arrives!

Yes, a week after ordering, my proof copy arrived in the post this morning, I'm extremely happy with the quality of both the paper and print quality from lulu.com they certainly delivered on that front, the glossy cover looks amazing too!

Yes, there are a couple of mistakes (mainly punctuation errors) I need to sort out, but that was the purpose of this proof copy so I could sort some errors out before you guys order it, but right now I'm excited It's here in print form! and will finish the errors in time for next week!

For now, here's the pictures I promised

Book cover, back and side shots.

Gizmondo Book Update

Here's the latest update regarding the Gizmondo book;

Firstly good news in the fact the book is now complete, with the last checks being completed and a proof copy being ordered on Monday. This proof copy should take around a week or two at the most, then final checks regarding fonts, size etc if all goes well then I'll let ordering begin on the 1st November, with links and price confirmed at the time. I'll also post some photo's of the completed book on this website.

Lastly, here's the final cover art for the book, it's close to what the rough design was like a month ago, but with the blue grading adding some colour along with proper logo and font in place, that's all for now, next time I'll post It'll be to order!

Gizmondo Book Coming Soon!

I've been beavering away a few hours a week for the last couple of months to release a Gizmondo book, It's not quite finished yet but once it is I'll reveal more details here with price and where to buy it from.

It's entitled 'Gizmondo - The Machine' and will contain obviously everything on this website, and a lot more besides, including every game review, more detailed previews on the unreleased games, facts, timeline, hardware, accessories and more, it's a more of a keepsake for Gizmondo owners after the last of the websites go down sometime in the future and It's always nice to hold and read instead of looking at a screen!

It's been more work than I originally thought, hence why I waited until closer the time to announce it, the book itself is a full 100 colour pages of Gizmondo goodness, with at first the paperback edition being sold, then after Christmas I'll get around to converting it into a eBook edition for Kindle etc.

I've tried to keep the price down to a minimum, even though its full colour it still won't cost the earth and it certainly will be cheaper than some of those dedicated retro books, once I get the proof copy and confirm it looks ok, then I'll reveal a set price, but I'm hoping I can keep it down to £12.99.

  • 100 full colour pages.

  • Redesigned layout & look for book.

  • 100% Gizmondo.

  • No adverts!

  • Paperback edition launched 1st.

  • eBook edition to appear at a later date.

As I've stated I'm still working on the last couple of sections, so by mid October it should be getting to the final draft stage before ordering a proof copy to show off on here before I let orders be taken early November.
