Title: Nintendo NES Library Guide & Review Book Kickstarter Post by: shaggy on November 30, 2015, 09:11:33 AM Oh my goodness, I so want this! It's right up my alley. Not sure if it is worth $60 for a physical copy, though.

If you like nice, concise reviews of games, check out Brett Weiss' books. His 1985-1988 edition covers the NES, SMS, and the 7800. Brett is a member here and typically runs a sale around the holidays. It may be worth contacting him through a PM, though he's not a very active member and I'm not sure how often he checks it. I have two of his books and I have been very satisfied with them. They come in hardcover (maybe more since I think they are OOP) and softcover.

I'll check out Brett's books.
