The Big Demoscene History Book, which you've been all waiting for since ages is becoming reality. Volume 1. of 'Freax' has just entered printing today. It will be first available at Assembly 2005, likely also presented at the Seminars (not yet confirmed officially). The first volume is about the history of demoeffects and the Commodore 64 and the Amiga scene. It is in English, 300 pages, hard cover, very high quality, with hundreds of colorful photos and screenshots. After the party it will be available from online and offline distributors worldwide.
Thanks to everyone who helped this very long and laborious project.
FREAX Vol. 2., the second volume about the history of the PC scene and other platforms is planned for Spring 2006.

Excellent to release a demoscene book in the year that the demoscene died.

So it'll come in late 2008/early 2010? ;)

Bring some books with you to the parties you'll attend. ;)

tomcat: you RULE,man.

very cool, i will buy one at asm.

Tomcat: nothing about Atari scene?

there is an atari scene? ;)

will there be any online sale of the book? that'd be nice!

same as gemini

gemini, learn to read and you will know.

don't forget to cover the console/handheld demoscene :) in freax vol 3257149875

The Atari scene is in the second volume, and also the handheld scene, the Mac scene, the Acorn scene, the Spectrum scene, the... the entire rest of the scene.

Ah yes, there'll be online sale from go64.de, maz-sound.de and probably fusecon.com.

Tomcat: good news

Okkie: please, visit your own shop and get a few items ;)

GREAT news, tomcat !!!!
VERY looking forward to that book (finally ;-) )...

Very exciting to get it to see _live_ soon then! :-D

Bye,
Weasel

Yeah, Weasel, I owe you a copy anyway. Remind me at Evoke please.

Keops: You should visit that shoppe too. Okkie only sells AMIGAAAAAAAAAA.

Great news! What's the retail / Assembly price going to be?

Price is 35 Euros, however, it'll be probably just 30 at parties. It's unfortunately not up to me to decide, and it's not 100% settled yet. But it won't be more for sure.

great!

I'll only buy it if there's an entire chapter devoted to "the scene is dead."

:D

Finally we have it under the machine. All in all it's 225 color pages.

Can't wait!

I hope that Maz-Sounds can sell me ASAP!

it would be cooler with 256 color pages
