"40 Years of Gen Con" by Robin Laws

[BOZ]

Anyone have a copy of this book? Want to have a go at sourcing this article? Gen Con - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a great book, Kevin: what do you need from it??

It's a very nice book, I'm on it.

Too much, unfortunately. The preview was so cool that I wish I had a copy. I was just hoping to improve the Gen Con Wikipedia article (see above link). You'll notice that the past five years are well-written up, but the first 35 years are barely handled at all. Anything you can do to help, well, I'll take a little bit at a time?

You can buy one for $20 shipped from eBay @ 40 Years of Gen Con by Robin Laws - eBay (item 350144705408 end time Jan-23-09 03:58:30 PST) or for a couple dollars less on Amazon @ Amazon.com: Used and New: 40 Years of Gen Con

It's worth picking up, even at full-cover price.

I know... if only I weren't so terminally broke, I'd really love to have a copy.

Email either Peter Adkison and/or John Nephew and/or Robin Laws, explain what you're trying to do, and see if one of them can send you a free copy

 

[BOZ]

right... LOL of course, maybe if Adkison realizes that I was largely responsible for getting the WotC article up to GA status, he might consider it.

Especially if links from the article back to the book will drive sales: I'm serious, you should contact Peter or John!

I'd ask them. The worst thing they can do is say no.
