It could have been worse. The initial title was "The book of CPS". Which HN told me could also be interpreted as Child Protection Services.
In emulators and the like I always see it written as CPS1/2/3, so why not "the book of CPS1"?
I do talk a bit about the CPS-2 in it. Especially the outstanding on-the-fly 68000 .text decryption system that pretty much closed the market to bootleggers (it was only cracked decades later).

It was done on purpose as an homage.
I loved to read K&R when I got started with C. The sight of the cover brings up so many good memories.

Does Amazon keep a certain level of stock across in counties the globe? If so how is the stock quantity calculated per country and city? Or are they printed on demand?
Thanks Fab! Added to the bookshelf along with your Doom and Wolfenstein books. Can’t wait for the next.

#16Just purchased - I loved the Game Engine Black Book Doom, and as someone who's always been fascinated with the CPS-1 and CPS-2 and the arcade scene that I just missed as a kid, this is even more up my alley!

I think they print on demand and limit orders based on how much they can print. Total extrapolation, I have no inside knowledge.
Thank you for your kind words about the book. If I ever write another one it would be about the SNES and Zelda III.

Please do, that would be absolutely brilliant.
Out of curiosity, how many hours approximately did you put in to both research and write CP-SYSTEM?

One year, approximately 12 hours a week. Super roughly 52x12 = 624 hours.
