The content of this book is easy to understand. Book also includes more advanced information. I really enjoyed reading it. I didn’t go from start to finish, but just jumped into the chapters that I found interesting — and that worked great.
The print quality, font size, and the whole look of the book gave me strong memories from the past, back when I truly loved using the Amiga. Now in 2025, when I start my Amiga with PiStorm, this book helps me to remember and relearn why this platform was — and still is — so amazing.
Also, big thanks to the store. My first copy of the book got lost during delivery, but they quickly sent me a replacement at no extra cost. Really flexible and helpful service. Thank you for that, and thank you for this great book.
Amiga lives on!
