David Pleasance of Commodore UK along with others, such as
Commodore Business Machines engineer Dave Haynie, are kickstarting a new
book, “Dare to Dream: Commodore and Amiga Today?” As sub-titled, it is
“A Vision of What Commodore and Amiga Could Have Been... Should Have
Been…” Check out the 6 1/2 minute video and the rest of the Kickstarter
project at

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/daretodreamhardback/dar e-to-dream-commodore-and-amiga-today

The Kickstarter ends on Sunday, August 4.

I’ve backed the book,

Because there's more to it than that.

Whether you make a paper book or an eBook, there are costs involved.

Part of the Kickstarter is to see what the demand for the book is. If there
isn't enough demand, then everyone can walk away from the project without
taking much of a financial hit.

Also, based on the Kickstart demand, they may see that there is only limited
demand and they will choose a more cost effective way to deliver the product.
