FYI. Don't bother buying from these guys. They charged $25.00 to ship 2 books to the US, but then USPS told me I owed an additional $11.40 to cover postage. They did not actually pre-pay shipping (I have no idea how they even managed to get it overseas with a "postage due" sticker).

The box also didn't contain a return address, so there was no way for me to force getting a refund by refusing shipment. The box literally just had a sticker with my name, address, and the postage due. No other information.

I sent them an email to at least try to get my $11.40 back, but I don't plan to buy from them again.

That's nuts, and very different from my last experience shopping with ROM. I had a package from them never show up last year (also via Royal Mail + USPS). Gave them periodic updates, then six months passed and I wrote to say that I thought those two books I'd ordered were probably lost. They sent me replacements via UPS free of charge. I'll continue to do business with them for sure; good luck on getting your own situation resolved.

If memory serves, all my dealings with Read-Only Memory publishing has been through crowd funding ventures, so nothing bad to report on that front. I did deal directly with Darren Wall years ago, as I needed to change a pledge on a book, or some issue I had, and he was great to deal with at the time. I actually ended up with a free book out of the situation at the time, 

Thanks for the heads up on current possible issues, as that sounds pretty piss poor to say the least. Sometimes once these places grow past their small beginnings, certain things like CS can often become an issue. I haven't been back to the Pix N Luv guys since they resurfaced, due to some of the questionable things they did in the past. And while I had never had an issue, I came real close on a few situations, and decided it better not to temp fate, and I haven't been back.

As stated, all my past experiences have been rather good in regards to ROM, but there is no harm in being cautionary moving forward, as I've seen many "good" places go "bad" over the years(and vice versa).

 
I'll let you guys know if I hear back from them. I honestly don't know if it's an isolated incident or a sign of shit going downhill.

The Dreamcast book is nice looking, so I wouldn't mind getting the Sega Master System book once they reprint it. I'm just a bit soured right now.

 
Just wanted to close the loop on Read-only Memory. They refunded the postage and explained that they are still trying to sort through Brexit issues. Books are supposed to be excluded from additional fees, but customs is just charging everyone.

I'll probably give them another shot once they reprint the Sega Master Works book.

I missed out on the early bird special for the Gunhed Deluxe Edition, but I did support it. I have their books on the NES, SNES, PSX, and Gamecube and they are all top notch. Only missing the N64 one. They are just about the only Kickstarter I still support nowadays.

The NES Omnibus: The Nintendo Entertainment System and Its Games, Volume 1 (A–L) is on sale for $36.96 over at Amazon(49.99 regular). I have several of this authors books, including both volumes of the SNES Omnibus books, which appear to be of the same quality as his current offering.

I've bought many of his books directly from him at conventions(all signed), and he's a cool guy who has some really good video game related books. This current book was actually just $42 on Amazon last week, as I was planning to buy it then, but got busy and just noticed the price had dropped further, so I jumped on it.

It looks cool, but not sure I should spend that much given the shipping cost as well. Wish I didn't miss the early bird. Could have got the basic version, but hesitated.

For those who may have missed out on the SNES Anthology, they are now offering up a "Gold Edition" as an early release for those getting in on the PC Engine Anthology currently. It seems to be more than the standard edition, but less than the premium version offered previously.

I also stumbled across "Gamemaster Classified" which is a new book about early Nintendo of America with help from long time OG, Howard Phillips himself. The book looks like it could be cool, as it seems to mimic the styles of early NP magazines, and they have far exceeded their intended target amount. This book only has a little over one day left to pledge, so glad I found it when I did, as I would have hated to miss out.

I'm on the fence whether or not it's worth double-dipping. The $15 price increase is a lot for 48 more pages. I may hold out for reviews.

Thanks for the heads up, as I added to my wish-list, but I think I'll pass for now, as I don't need to spend $40 on an update. If it ever reaches the low bar of before, count me in for sure.

 
Final Fantasy VII Remake: Material Ultimania is coming in December from Square Enix Manga & Books. Seems to be another artbook-style Ultimania. The MSRP is $39.99; various shops' preorder listings are in the link.

The Art of Atari is currently $21.51 on Amazon, and I can't say if this is the best the price has been for this, but this book is one of the few I would recommend at full price. At the beginning of gaming, a HUGE imagination was key, and the art Atari used still drops my jaw to this day, and this book is all about it.

Sadly, as games got better looking, many developers/publishers used less and less quality box art, as more games could speak for themselves with in game graphics. Art like this, and the same with manuals is now just a lost "art" so to speak, but when it was good, damn, it was truly amazing. The reviews for this book speak for themselves, and at this price, this is a no brainer.

Well, here's a blast from the past, Pixel Perfect: Punch-Out!! (NES Hardcover Book) is now available on Kickstarter, as this was first offered there back in 2013. The author made the mistake of trying to get "N" involved, and needless to say that went tits up, and the book was never officially released.

While looking at past info for this, the author released the PDF about a year after it was originally cancelled, and allowed for fans to print their own books. I guess at some point past that, the author printed his own copies as well, and offered them on Amazon($237 if your interested). LOL I guess it was good I never find out about those, as I would have for sure bought one, as this booked looked way cool back when it was first offered. Now it can be had for a much better price, and has some updated content as well.

15% off in-stock products at Read-Only Memory with the code ROMSALE - expires June 11.

In other news, this is a little old, but Viz is publishing Hideo Kojima's book The Creative Gene. It's a hardcover retailing for $22.99 (and going for cheaper at the usual places), and it comes out in October. Here's an excerpt from the introduction (via Destructoid).

 
If anyone is interested, Target has quite a few standard and deluxe edition art books (both video game and anime) that apply for the B2G1 promo they are running, such as the Assassin's Creed: Valhalla Deluxe Edition ($46.49). If you have been wanting something, it might not be a bad idea to check if Target has it.

Ugh dammit, of course this had to coincide with them giving me a "make 3 $40 purchases and get $15 back" on Circle offer as well.

I'm legit out of space on my bookshelf to put new books, but I keep buying them.....

Luckily our place had an extra closet no one claimed with built in shelves that I made my current "Library" room and stuck a half sized bookshelf against the bare wall. But at some point (Or when I move to a new place) i just need to invest in a massive full wall sized bookshelf so I won't have to worry about it again.

Its mostly the oversized art/design books I love collecting and the weird sized ones like the Art of Disney and Pixar movie books that make storing them hard. I probably have like 30 books stacked in my room/clothing closet alone, had a really good week of hauls at Half Price Books that didnt help.

 
Anyone know of any recent video game books that would have been added to Target for preorder (or even good recent releases)? Don't have much in my wishlist (surprisingly), though I may grab some omnibuses since those are $125-$150 each

Wondering the same thing- I had Shantae preordered at Target from way back when but they canceled that order without giving me a reason. It's back now but not sure there's anything else I want...

 
just order 3 and cancel 2

does that not work with books like it does with games?

Oh duh... I keep forgetting about that. Although the last time I did this was the Shantae order- and that order eventually got canceled before the book came out. Not sure if that was a fluke or what but I guess I'll give it a try.

 
ive generally had bad experiences with book preorders from target

they kept trying to cancel my persona artbooks for like 2 months

I've never ordered from Bitmap before, but had to pick up that JRPG book I heard about recently. Does anyone know how long shipping tends to take who's ordered from them in the past? And do books like that tend to ever receive discounts before selling out?

Shipping is a crap shoot lately, so hard to say. They ship out pretty quick (within a few days), but it's anyone's guess how long it'll take to get to you.

I've never seen discounts on their books.

I've gotten all their major releases over the last few years, and all have come DHL express, so normally 2-4 days(I'm in the US). I often get their posters, and they used to use rather thin tubes(have been improved in recent times), so I've had several arrived damaged. I've always contacted Sam directly, and replacements have been shipped the same way, DHL express within a few days. Their book packaging is insane(probably the best in the industry), and I've never had a book arrived damaged. And with their thicker postal tubes, haven't had any poster problems recently either.

A signature is always required, but if you set up a free DHL account, you can waive that online, and have them leave at your door(or backyard, etc). I always leave a note at my door, and in the instructions I state if they arrive and there is no note, DO NOT leave the package, as you have the wrong house. That has kept me from having packages left elsewhere, when the drive is daydreaming, so always "cover your ass". The guy on my route knows me from my notes, as one time a package arrived so quick, I didn't get to leave the note, and luckily I was home when he knocked, and he asked were my note was? LOL

Apparently you can get for cheaper on book depository, FYI
 
Don't they sell rejects with remainder marks? Or was that another place.

On second thought, it's $65 there, so probably not.

Their book packaging is insane(probably the best in the industry), and I've never had a book arrived damaged. And with their thicker postal tubes, haven't had any poster problems recently either.

A signature is always required, but if you set up a free DHL account, you can waive that online, and have them leave at your door(or backyard, etc). I always leave a note at my door, and in the instructions I state if they arrive and there is no note, DO NOT leave the package, as you have the wrong house. That has kept me from having packages left elsewhere, when the drive is daydreaming, so always "cover your ass". The guy on my route knows me from my notes, as one time a package arrived so quick, I didn't get to leave the note, and luckily I was home when he knocked, and he asked were my note was? LOL

Thanks for the heads up. Wasn't aware that they would require a signature.

Apparently you can get for cheaper on book depository, FYI

Thanks, I had already ordered, but I'll keep that in mind next time. Not sure if they include digital there, so I guess even though I paid more there will be that bonus.
