Bought it on Kindle for iPad, read through it ravenously in a single night.

It was a great read. If you have an ounce of passion for Starcraft (and if you don't, why are you reading TL?

) you need to get this book.

Neat. I think that if Amazon had been up from the first moment, we could have made it to the top 100. There were a bunch of copies ordered from that terrible store that I had up before. Oh well! Still, very cool

I would maybe buy one if it came with a better looking cover^^

Don't hold my terrible cover-making abilities against me! The book is still good ;p

What.cd is not the type of community that is focused on anything, so the odds of having a lot of SC fans there are the same as the odds of any other type of fan being there.. I wouldn't worry about it at all - every academic research into internet piracy shows that people who download more, buy more music/films/books as well.

I'm not too worried haha. I was only half joking, it is cool to see demand so high that they want to pirate it.

I got the paperback off PayPal. Is there a way to still bump the amazon rating or anything like that?

I wish! heh, in my rush to make it accessible to all, I may have a sacrificed my chance at Amazon best seller's list. Oh well! Thanks for the support anyway

I got it by mail maybe 1½-2 hours ago, and I'm on page 68 - it's really good so far.

Hey Chobopeon, congratulations on getting the book published! Is there a possibility to get this in Europe? I'm dying to read it. Also, there is another book called "Optimistic" listed on amazon by the same author. Did you write that too? And last but not least, will ScCenter ever come back? I know how much work it is to make those but I think a lot of people appreciated what you did there. Cheers!

I did write that but I never released it. It was a novel. I think it's really good, the best thing I've ever written, but I never could figure out how to sell it. Maybe I'll release it one day

I want to bring back SC Center, it was great. I will try my best to figure out how to make that happen. As you say, it is very difficult but it was very fun.

As for getting The StarCraft Bible in Europe, if you go here, you can buy the book via Paypal and I'll ship it to you as soon as I get the order.

Thanks!

Hmm this books seems super interesting, but unfortunately I don't think its what I am looking for.
I am writing a memoire for school on esports comparing regular to regular sports. If anyone comes by a book/article that would be of use pass it plz?

Well, it depends on what you are trying to conpare. if you are just looking about the amount of practice time, then ya, this book will be lacking. But If you want to look at the passion/pride of the players for what they do, and how they elevate what started as a child's game into something they base their lives on, or look at the fans, or the underlying strategies (which would ba rather hard from the traditional sport side) then this book can help.

If nothing else, it can help get rid of the "non-internet sorce" requierment that all of my teachers had.
