Arcade Mania in Print

080827-arcademania

Look what got delivered to me this morning: beautiful print copies of Arcade Mania! I can’t even start to describe the thrill of finally getting to hold this thing in my hands, and it looks absolutely terrific, even better than what I was hoping.

To update you on a few things, the official site for the book should launch next week, and we’ll also reveal details on when the book launch/party will happen. The book will be in stores in Japan towards the end of September, and January for the rest of the world. You can already pre-order it at Amazon Japan, Amazon US, even Amazon Canada.
