RANDOM PLUG: New Back to the Future Encyclopedia Now Available!

[Karnie]

I’m only posting this because there seemed to be some interest in the thread I made about my upcoming Red Dwarf Encyclopedia when I mentioned we were also doing a BttF book. Well, it’s now available, just in time for holiday shopping! Full details, including a downloadable sample and information on where to order, are available at our website at http://hassleinbooks.com/pages/book_bttfLexicon.php

That front cover is beautiful.

[Ian Symes]

That looks damned good. I think I’ll be grabbing one post-payday.

[Karnie]

Thanks! That, plus all the interior sketches, where done by our extremely talented illustrator Pat Carbajal: http://patart-pat.blogspot.com. He did most of our covers, including the one for our upcoming Back to the Future Timeline.

Will he be doing the Red Dwarf cover too?

[Seb Patrick]

Ooof, it’s not cheap. But I’ve stuck it on the Amazon wishlist. Nice to see it’s readily available on the UK site without having to faff around with ordering from the States, too – presumably this will bode well for your RD book…

Tha looks nice….

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS A 15-YEAR-OLD FANGIRL IN LOVE WITH ALL THINGS BTTF?

I may need to purchase this into my life even now.

Kinda don’t want to break this to you but I spotted a mistake in the PDF preview. It says Marty’s grandfather is the “mother of his mother”.
Apart from that it looks really good.

Thanks, that looks great! Think I’ll treat myself to a copy for Christmas.

In my heart, I still am a 15 year-old fangirl in love with all things BTTF.

Thanks all!

Jason: heh heh… well, there’s bound to be a few errors in a book this size, it’s unfortunate one of them is in the preview.. =)

As far as the Red Dwarf cover goes, Pat won’t be doing that one because I absolutely can’t have anything identifiable on the cover as being specifically from Red Dwarf, as the book is unauthorized. We got away with it on the BttF book because we have the support of the official BttF website, so we could bend the rules a little; but for the RD book, I don’t want to take any chances with the cover, so the cover you see on our website is the final design. It’s a shame, because we did have him do a preliminary rough sketch of something back before I decided on a generic cover; but we felt it was still too identifiable.

When we did the Garbage Pod book. we had a similar issue, we didn’t wanna ruffle any feathers, thats why everything is either a recreation, or an allusion to an existing Red Dwarf based item…

I’ve added this book to my Amazon Wishlist. I’ll pick it up m’self when I have disposable income again.
