    So in summary, TNT was approached by some speculative investor to write down TNT's stories in print, publish them, and offer some exposure as well for TNT, and save the pinball community from boredom (aka. 'doing the pinball community a favor'). TNT bought into it, didn't abide by the terms, and the speculator didn't deliver on glossy paper, and made MAJOR errors in quality, in proofing/copy editing (if it was even read), and then printed. The printing was late, and wasn't received well by the buyers. Some bought in at one copy, edition 1. Others bought into the entire promised 10 issue 'book'. Each book was to be written by TNT, TT in particular, and some was removed, edited without permission, and not quality edited by the publisher. All the while the buyer was dumb enough to buy into it as an 'investment' because they love pinball, and the community. Oh, and its mostly because of TNT's quality sales and distribution as well as a desire to profit from its 40+ years of game sales and service history that this all was possible.?!? At what point does the TNT fan club stop flagging some douche that leveraged the TNT momentum, and call it the way it needs to be called?

    Here's the reality. Gordon H promised years ago to do the remaining X books of 10, those left undone by his friend and cohort. That has never materialized. Self publishing 10 books of high quality is the impossible, 5 books unlikely, 1-2 books that are of that quality and caliber is a huge undertaking. Yet publishing one highly error ridden book on toilet paper stock with chapters missing, and business fraud happening is apparently 100% proven. What has transpired, sad sad sad start to what would have been an otherwise major undertaking. Its much easier to give birth than to resurrect the dead, good luck is all I can muster up on this adventure.
