Z-Machine Matter

Following up on my prior post on The Art of Atari, fans of British retro computing will want to get a copy of the fascinating "Sinclair ZX Spectrum: A Visual Compendium" published by Bitmap Books in the UK. Though not as comprehensive as "The Art of Atari" the book provides extensive artwork on 100 classic ZX Spectrum games, as well as interviews with the designers and artists behind these games.

It's a heavy-duty 300 page book available in high quality paperback or luxurious hardcover editions. For fans of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, it is truly in a league of its own. Luckily fans of the equally popular Commodore 64 are not left out; there's an equally compelling Commodore 64 Visual Compendium for them.
