I really hope this gets funded as it looks stunning. There have been lots of retro books recently and it is about time the VIC got it's own publication. Good luck with the campaign.

Thanks for the pledge. Yes the VIC really deserves some love, it's all about the 64 or the Spectrum...

Yeah, they are a bit different heh. I own both of those, and also Australian sleeves for Clowns and Star Battle. I also own a much different UK artwork for Radar Rat Race, it's like a proper painting with realistic looking mice, rats and cats. I'll see if I can take a shot of all three for you to have a look at out of interest

I've got the different artwork for Radar ratrace - it will be in the book as a double page poster. For that one I say "creepy".

It depends on the total of English + Italian copies. Most probably, the Italian version will be paperback and the English version will be Hardback, but I'm not 100% sure so I haven't specified it.
Do you think that this could be an issue? This is my first KS project, I don't want to promise features that I can't do, but I want to be 100% honest and transparent.

Just do the best you can with the resources that are available. That's all we ask. If paperback is the best way for everyone to get a fair deal (including you), that's fine. Hardback would be great if it's economically viable but it's not the end of the world if it doesn't happen.
Don't promise anything unless you're 110% sure you can see it through. The KS community is notoriously unforgiving when it comes to broken promises.
Do you know how many copies would make hardcover versions viable? If you do and the existing price is still adequate, you could make it a stretch goal.
