Amiga books: from Vultures to VAMPIRES video review with Trevors introduction

Hi All!

I think some of you may find it interesting: i made a short video about Trevor/David's books “from Vultures to VAMPIRES”, in which show both volumes in hard paper,
briefly explain how much of the content in each volume are OS4 centric, with usual subtitles and some funny music on top of it.

But the most appealing part probably a video introduction from Trevor himself, where he explains how long he works on it, how it was, etc.






Briefly says, while Volume1 wasn't too much "os4 only" (because it covers post died commodore times, and the remain 100 pages of the volume1 are quite interesting and about Amiga NG times),
the Volume2 is probably 70-80% AmigaNG centric (that include also MorphOS as well, but still AmigaOS4 covered most as probably the most drama were always with OS4 :) )

So thanks for watching, and big fat thanks to Trevor, probably the one because of who we still there with our X5000 and X1000 :)

I have just finished reading the second volume and I really enjoyed the read. I did not know quite a number of details and I found it very interesting.
Now I wonder if there is/will be an hard cover of the volume three. I really want to read it, but I would prefer a physical version rather than the ebook version.

Back to a quiet home... At last

They worth reading for sure

@abalaban
David says that he sent Volume 3 to the printers, and he has just been advised they should take delivery in September. So waiting for volume3 as well, as it will be probably the most interesting volume in terms of AmigaOS4 and NG in whole.

Sounds perfect - I'm hoping to buy volumes 2 and 3 (with personal dedications) at Amiga38 in Mönchengladbach in October . I bought the first volume there last year.

Best regards,

Niels

While first volume is good too, the second one surely better, as the first one again cover things we know / heard about back in days, but whole "NG" stories sometime missed or just wasn't ever documented anywhere. So volume2 is surely better (for my IMHO of course), and the 3st one, will be even much better, as will cover our current NG times.

Having seen the video I think I'd like all three now but probably e-reader. I'm not much of a reader and so many books i've bought just end up on the shelf not read.

That's my hope as well. I'm mostly interested in the AmigaOS 4 story so Volume 3 is the one I've been looking forward to the most. I hope it ships soon!
