FS: THE BOOK by Atari, a guide to electronic game operation and servicing
« on: February 08, 2010, 12:49:09 AM »
I came across these copies of the well known "THE book" by atari. It is a guide for servicing game pcb's and monitors for those who do not know it. A must have for every arcade collector.

They are like brand new and available for 20 euro a piece. I have only 8 left. Sold out means sold out.

They are re-prints. The cover is different. Still nice to have a printed version.

Yeah, and the originals were not bound like a book and instead came as loose leafs in a binder...

Makes no sense to me to pay that much for an inofficial reprint that I could print out by myself from the pdf.
And to me it looks like those books were also printed from that pdf...?
