Interesting idea, but covers only until 1984, poor structure and many spelling mistakes

Commodore what part of my youth: When I was 13, I got my C64, Followed by at AMIGA a few years later. In That Time, you did not just buy a computer, but you chose sides: What nowadays is the fight between Apple / Windows / Linux what the fight between Commodore, Atari and Schneider (and the PC at a later point in time).

Despite of its fame, you never got a real inside look at what happened at the company, though. That's why this book Attracted me so much.

There are good and bad aspects about this book ...

... The idea itself is really good and makes for vivid images: interviews, background information and quotes from employees really give you a feeling for what happened at Commodore.

Unfortunately, the negative aspects outnumber the positive:
- The book only covers the years until 1984 Which is the pre-Amiga era. This is a big disappointment and a huge contradiction of what can be read in the synopsis! Keep that in mind if you are planning to buy this: Not a single word about the AMIGA product-family! At the end of the book the author announces the upcoming "Amiga" -Book ...
- The pictures are very poor, small and most of the time Completely irrelevant.
- Many, many spelling mistakes and missing words! (Remark: You can surely see That I'm not a native English speaker, but my reading is better than my writing and I know my english When I say there are lots of errors!) It Seems There was not of editor for this Product ...
- Poor structure: Many things and events are not Introduced at all and some are repeated every other page (eg Irving Gould and his role which never Introduced but suddenly he's there)

So, bottom line: I read it and It was not too bad, but confusing at times and I Wished the author would have condensed some of the many redundant remarks and adding the years 1985-1994 instead (as every buyer probably Expects after reading the synopsis anyway).
