I’d love to go to Petra mind.
I don’t know why I didn’t go when I had the chance , that book was a present from my sister in law when she lived over there. We could have had free digs

Hate mail by Noel fielding. On the road by jack kerouac and a banksy book.

Basically a massive book of photos of Hollywood stars and singers from the 80s and 90s..... absolute bargain at £6
It's f***ing huge and weighs an absolute tonne

Has zero relevance to the thread. Great input as always.

This is a canny read for anyone that liked computer games, particularly in the 80s and 90s.

It is about loads of game projects that got close to completion and then just died or disappeared. There is one in there that I had been looking forward to for ages and put away some pocket money waiting for it's release. They had adverts in magazines and all sorts. Spitfire Fury for the Archimedes. I had the previous game by the same author, Chocks Away and it was brilliant for it's day. Turns out the screenshots in the adverts were an advertisers mock up and the author having made a fair bit on the first game, took his advance money and spent all his time clubbing and getting pissed in Ibiza, and no game was ever produced.
Everything is just a 4 or 5 page story, so easy to pick up and put down.
The Games That Weren't
The book The Games That Weren't looks at dozens of retro video games made between 1975 and 2015 that were cancelled, canned, abandoned, or simply unreleased.

How do you know he doesn't keep that book on his coffee table?

It’s a book, it’s on my coffee table - ergo a coffee table book. It literally could not be more relevant.
Thanks for your normal sniping which incidentally added nothing to the thread as usual.
Careful now.

This is the most valuable coffee table book I own - a collection of polaroids by Russia's greatest film director. When my wife argues against me buying any more coffee table books, this is the one I mention. I paid £25. It's now worth.... a bit more than that.
