    Hey, I was involved in the earlier thread, so I figured I would drop in here and add a bit of information

    Marty Goldberg works with me at the Midwest Gaming Classic and we're still friends. A number of people from this thread reached out, so I ended up contacting him yesterday. He is still hoping to publish a reprint, he's been a bit delayed, partly because Ted Dabney, who yes - this was written by the co-founder of Atari - passed away in 2018, partly because there wasn't a ton of interest originally, and partially because he doesn't have an easily reprintable version of the book. He is still hoping to do it.

    Marty is one of the foremost historians on Atari, and published a book about Atari a few years ago. It's really good:

    Marty became friends with Dabney, so the project was done with the total blessing of him. If you'd like a copy of this, probably the most important thing to do is express interest in actually getting a copy so that it makes it worth the while.

    If everyone agrees that it isn't worth cleaning up and instead should just be photocopied, I'm sure Marty could do that too - although knowing him, that's not his style
