16 Aug 2008: The ZX Spectrum Book - Limited Edition
The updates for the
ZX Spectrum Book Limited Edition have been completed, and the proof is due to be shipped to the printers after that.
If all goes well, the books should arrive at Hiive HQ about twenty business days later, which works out to be about mid-September.
They are well on the way to selling out (as only 100 are being printed) so if you want to be sure to get one, now is the time to put in your preorder!
