DARE TO DREAM - A new book co-authored by Dave Haynie and David Pleasance ! - Marcio D. - 07-22-2024
There's a Kickstarter campaign going on right now, with less than two weeks left. The book is titled, "Dare to Dream - The Vision of What Commodore and Amiga Could Have Been... Should Have Been..."
Check it out and contribute if you can:

This campaign was mentioned in the "Paul Docherty's Heart Of Neon" thread, but I'm creating this dedicated thread to ensure that the topic isn't accidentally missed by anyone.

How about "Dare To Dream: The C128 if Commodore Corp supported it just half as much as it's community of users"?

I'm sure they'll come up with another book for $25,000.
Whether it'll be as good as a non-crowdfunded book is another subject.

I have to agree. I'm much more inclined to write the book first and then publish and sell it. I mean, when it comes to publishing a book these days, on-demand printing/publishing services kind of make the need for up-front capital unnecessary. All you really need is the time and talent to do the writing; and let's face it, if you have neither of those at your disposal, crowdfunding really isn't going to provide them for you.
