Génération Amstrad CPC is a book written by Patrick Hellio edited by Pix'n Love.

It's a big book, A4 format with no less than 538 pages. Indeed you must do some muscle work before being able to read a book about Amstrad CPC computers. I can't give an opinion about the book as I couldn't order it before. It is available as a limited edition on Pix'n Love web site, simply in a french library shop or on Amazon.fr if you don't live in France. The photo below is of the limited edition of our BND 4 nice organizer.

Replay : Mémoires d'une famille is the history of Jordan Mechner, hist family and the programming of the mythic game Prince of Persia on Apple 2 as a comic.

I was able to buy it directly from Jordan Mechner and I did read voraciously, and I did loan to my mother and other people, all loved it. It's a dive into the history of 20th century in Europe with the Mechner family. The first reading can be difficult because the reading is not linear in time, you jump from one era to another but you really have to hang on because it is simply an extraordinary reading, 320 pages of pure joy, I wished there were more. I rediscovered historical facts through reading it, in addition to discovering the genesis of the Prince of Persia game. And I'll read it again as soon as I get it back from the last person I lent it to.

It is now available in english : Replay, memoir of an uprooted family. Buy it, read it !
