Wonderful to finally get a hardback copy of The Making of Prince of Persia by @jmechner. PoP was one of my earliest and most formative gaming experiences, playing in black and white on a Mac Plus, and the Kindle version of this book remains one of my favourite game dev stories a decade after I read it.

@MossRC Thank you! That's great to hear. I hope you like the hardcover edition with its added features. I had fun working with Stripe Press's designers to add the illustrations and annotations (and the Legacy section with contributions from fans in the back).
@jmechner I haven't looked closely yet, but I spotted all of those new things and I expect they'll go a long way towards elevating the story. I'm especially looking forward to reading the legacy section, which looks great at first glance. I always like to have a legacy bit at the end of product histories — and I make a point of including them where possible/appropriate in my own books/articles — because they show the life things take on after they're done.
