Bitmap Books The SNES Pixel Book Review

I should probably start by saying, I am not a book person. I don't have a collection, I have around 10 books in total and they are mainly fiction/non-fiction. However, for a long time now I have been perusing the virtual bookstores, more specifically gaming related books. Whether that be books around lore in the games we play, to books that put the visuals we all used to see on the screens over 20 years ago in print. Putting Your Memories In Print There has always been one place that comes to mind when thinking of these books. That place is non-other than Bitmap Books. The number of times I have visited their site or scrolled through their socials is uncountable. However, the looking is over and the owning is here - The SNES Pixel Book.

"Having 10,000 people back my design was overwhelming enough, even with friends and family behind me, but having it be selected for further development ...
