Hmmmm... I received a notification from Amazon today that my pre-order for this has been pushed out indefinitely. Where's it available?

Same here it's been delayed, but that's cool I left me pre-order active.

LOL. Just checked the Amazon site and it says that the book is in stock and shipping? What the heck? Maybe it was delayed a day or something.

Same here, I left it active.

Same here. Tuesday delivery.

Considering the stories that I've heard about what went on at Atari in those days this isn't even close to shocking. Got this book months ago and love it!!! Was really surprised about the Wonder Woman pinball backglass artwork. Considering the popularity of the TV show at the time one does have to wonder (no pun intended) why it didn't get into production or at least a prototype machine made.

Got mine at the local Wal Mart several months ago. One of five copies at the time. Went back a couple of days later and the other copies were gone. Guess there are more Atari fans lurking about than I thought...

Got mine via Amazon today. Awesome book!

Ha! Designed by my old friend Dan Kramer! Atari expert extraordinaire and a regular contributor to my old Pinball Trader Newsletter way back in the 80's.
Does anyone know what Dan is doing these days? He was quite a character, as evidenced by this great t-shirt. Hey, it was the 80's!

The artist who did the wonder woman backglass, Evelyn Seto, released an image of the playfield artwork to IPDB.

That's great. Nice piece of history and gorgeous art-especially like the way the strips of inserts ricochet off her wrist bands. Not so sure of Ataris layout on this. Looks a little conventional, especially after Superman. Do we know who designed the layout?

well that wonder woman artwork is just the preliminary concept. There would have been a finished version afterwards.

For those interested Tim released another book (with Steve Hendershot) just now https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/product/9781524104665-item.html?mkwid=sfo7ReelC_dc&pcrid=44154474422&pkw&pmt&s_campaign=goo-Shopping_Books&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInNPLmO3N1wIVDHp-Ch3nAQRmEAYYASABEgKHD_D_BwE

I contributed a few of the images.
