Love Retro Gamer but don't want to carry all your issues around with you? Want something that will look amazingly stylish on your coffee table? Then you need our third bookazine, which is jam-packed with classic retro gaming goodness. The articles have been personally hand-picked by myself and I've included some of the best content from issue 35 to 54.

Basically if you love retro gaming this book is essential.
It's now available from our online shop for an amazingly low £9.99

Nice one, the bookazines are brilliant. Just in time for my holidays as well!

Like a Super Summer Bumper Special! Just right for that early afternoon lull at Butlins just before the the glam grannies compo fires up!

I wonder if they still have decent arcades in holiday camps?

I used to love the Beano Summer Specials back in the 1970's. Great times. :D

Bought. I love the shiny white cover. Very clinical.

Seconded - any plans to restock them guys? I'm really keen to get hold of volumes one and two, but everyone selling them on eBay is taking the p*ss with a vengeance. I'm certainly not prepared to line these peoples' pockets and would much rather my cash went to you lovely lot at the mag!
Fantastic news that a fourth one is out, grabbed the last one out of Smiths today and looking forward to getting stuck into that with a few Jim Beams and some tunes later :)

When you think you've got problems you don't really need,
They're maybe not as bad as they seem,
Cos in a world full of misery, with hatred and greed,
Your problems are another man's dream.

I knew there was something else i was meant to have bought (not the Jim Beam, I made sure I bought a bottle of that :D )

I assume this means there are no plans to re-issue the first and second bookazines? Shame as I really want them – but I’m not sure if there’s enough demand maybe.

For those who are interested I did still keep seeing the odd issues of Bookazine 3 in Smiths and Menzies (in Liverpool – city centre, Lime Street Station and Liverpool Airport) until quite recently.

A quick check of ebay – Bookazine One? £75.
