Due to popular request, Rodrigo Copetti has just released hardcover editions of his Architecture of Consoles books. While the paperbacks were excellent, many people were asking for hardcover versions and Rodrigo delivered – These are physically larger than the paperback versions (as shown in the picture above), printed with Amazon’s premium ink and bound with a sturdy cover. Please note that all of Rodrigo’s work is available for free on his website, or via cheaper eBook versions, however many of us appreciate physical media and would enjoy owning either the paperback or hardcover versions. You can select hardcover or paperback via the same link below:

So look, I understand if you’ve already purchased the paperback and would have preferred the hardcover edition, but please note that WE asked for this – Rodrigo wanted to keep the price affordable and did the right thing starting with paperback editions. But really, the only complaint I heard from people who bought them is they would have loved a more expensive, “premium” hardcover edition. So if you already bought a paperback, either enjoy it and know you’ve got some awesome (and helpful if you’re a dev!) physical media…or give away the paperback edition to a fellow retro nerd as a gift and buy the hardcover for yourself :p
Here’s a picture of the inside and if you’d like to know more about how Rodrigo does these analysis, check out the podcast we did awhile back: Simply search any app for “RetroRGB Rodrigo”, or check out the video below:
