Yu Suzuki: Le Maitre de Sega - Book Review

[Hyo Razuki]

Yes, that's normal here in Germany as well. Most small publishers tend to stay away from ebooks for some reason.

Maybe some bastards scanned a (physical) copy of your book and made it into PDF? Must be such a bad feeling. 5 years of work and some assholes are just cashing in at your expense. Feeling sorry for you, dude!

I payed 15 Euros for the shipping to Germany, ordering from Geeks-Line directly. Of course, that's super expensive, but out of personal preference I prefer not to buy stuff on Amazon (in fact I do almost no online shopping at all, because I don't like it). Well, it was worth the price to me. Especially since (I bought merchandise ) I was super hyped about the book and couldn't wait for release so I didn't wanna wait till November and preordered via Geeks-Line.

Hello,
I asked my editor if an ebook release was planned, but the answer is "no".

I have no idea of the shipping cost on Amazon or Geeks Line, can someone tell me if they are expensive, stating his country?

(To my surprise, I found typing into Google PDF version of my book on pirate web sites.
They ask your money and you can download all the latest books published.
This is pure scam ! don't put a euro in it : there is absolutely no PDF of my book).

There are PDFs for everything, it's almost automatic (scam robots I suppose) but their contents are indeed blank.

Thanks a lot Hyo Razuki for your trust from the beginning,
and all the compliments you made ​​me once you read the book.
It goes straight to my heart.

I actually have some points I disagree with you in the book, but the book still speaks for itself. The book deserves the praise and I've learned a lot from the book. Can't wait to hear Amir and other Dojo members' opinions as well, once they have read it.

Now available on Amazon.fr, with shipping it's about £22 to the UK (not available on Amazon.co.uk currently).

Yeah, I just got the book from my letterbox today.

The first thing I found after opening the book is the Shenmue III at E3 2004 thing. Damn the guy is so affirmative, that sounds crazy.

[Yokosuka]

"traitors", "plundered". Wow Benjamin, you're so harsh. I like that

Hello Yokosuka,
Your message made me laugh, but yes indeed I say what I think in a free manner.

(But today, after what has happened in my country, writing about the videogame seems to me ridiculous. I am very sad).

I'm sorry to hear about that Ben. I offer my condolences.

In a world with so much death and suffering the actions of greedy businessmen just seem even thinner, don't they?

Just ordered this off Amazon.co.uk, even cheaper than Amazon.fr and even Geeks-Line at £16.69 (though for some reason it ended up at £15.59 on check out, not complaining though...): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yu-Suzuki-Maitr ... 014UDN7ES/

A lot of French people buy their games in UK for this reason.

Yeah, I remember being shocked at games/DVD prices in France; even back in '08 a 2nd hand DVD would go for 10 euros when you could buy the same DVD new in HMV in the UK for £5.

Book arrived this morning, wasn't expecting it to arrive until Wednesday. Looks to be in good condition, think Hyo Razuki got unlucky with the binding on his copy, will write a review once I've finished reading it.

[Yokosuka]

The book is indeed solid and very sweet. The only drawback is that the spine is inevitably folded after reading.
