Damn, it took me a long time to find this thread, possibly because I kept thinking the book was called 'Amiga: the final years'
So there's been something of a bump in pledges today, with it exceeding the second day's takings both in terms of number of pledgers and total pledge amount. This seems to have been sparked by a post announcing the 40k stretch goal had been reached, meaning if you remove the dust jacket the raw book will have foil lettering pressed into the spine, which I think is a feature of all the hardback books I own (apart from some textbooks which just have the cover glued and wrapped around the hardback cover itself - a couple of my more recent pop-art books which have the cover design wrapped around the cover and a dust jacket printed with the same image, which seems slightly excessive).
Anyway, we're suddently most of the way towards the 50k stretch goal (sewn binding) which it most interesting to me personally and might get me to pledge for this myself (even though I never owned an Amiga or any Commodore hardware here).
