I have a copy from the kickstarter, it's the best and most expensive ($175) thing I've ever gone in on crowdfunding for.

Absolutely beautiful books. Great photography, they even worked up their own typefaces and do fun typographic things all over the place. Well written and deeply _deeply_ researched.

I have very few complaints, maybe the section on chorders is a little thinner than I'd like, but that's a pet interest of mine and I've chased down a bunch of material so my perspective is weird.

From the kickstarter updates, the original run were an ordeal to make, but I really do hope there is enough interest for a second printing at some point.

Me too. But it cost half as much as my ZX Spectrum Next...

I see news about those, mostly from friends doing recreational things with FPGAs. I guess also relevant since they've managed to crowdfund three (substantially upgraded from generation to generation) runs of them.
