The StarCraft Bible is book about the history and culture of StarCraft, spanning 30 years from the first proto-RTS games until today. Grrrr..., Artosis, DjWheat and many more helped with their unique insights into history and future alike. This was a collaborative project and the contributors deserve many thanks.
In September, The StarCraft Bible was written and it was good. Over the next three months, it was expanded, refined and made into a book.
You can read a 10,000 word excerpt from the book here. The entire first draft of the book is here. I was interviewed about the book here.

So far, the only people I've heard with much negative to say were those who thought this was a strategy guide. Note: This is not 'CHOBO'S GET 2 DIAMOND QUIK!' book. This is a collaboration between huge e-sports fans, some famous and some not. This is an attempt to document part of StarCraft's rich history. It may very well give you the jolt of adrenaline you need to hit rank #1 diamond but I promise nothing on that front!
There are a number of ways to buy the book, including paperback (8''x10'', 225pg) and e-book (Kindle, Nook, DRM-Free) options. You can see everything available here. If you'd like to contact me for any reason at all, don't hesistate to do so.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for everyone who liked what I wrote and encouraged me to make it into a book. Thanks to TL and the whole StarCraft community. And, of course, thank you to all the awesome people who were involved.
This book has already been a big success for me, I'm thrilled with how well it's doing. I hope everyone enjoys it and I welcome all feedback. Share your reviews on Amazon or anywhere you like! Spread this like wildfire, word of mouth is our best chance at success (and it's already working)!
!!: Let's see how high we can get in the best sellers listing, eh? We've already jumped up 2,000 spots in a couple of hours. Tell your friends to get a copy off of Amazon. Several hundred copies have already been sold (THANK YOU) so it won't be easy to continue to rise but I know there's more people out there who would want this book. I'll do giveaways and whatever else to promote it. All ideas welcome!

If you are European and don't want to use Amazon.com, you can buy the paperback book via Paypal here and I will ship it to you personally.

This books seem really interesting so I just bought it(paperback)...
Now the waiting will surely be a tedious one.
On a side note, buying from Europe (with paypal) has the nice extra of being cheaper
( € > $ for now )
Many thanks for writing this book and also to everybody involved in the making.
