Unfortunately such things take a significant investment of time, and by their nature games have a limited timeframe of when they're still relevant.

Not too sure a physical book is the best way to approach this, but I wish you all the best none the less.

Physical books on games are a dying breed. The internet is where it's at for all game information. Not to be overly offensive, but you also need a considerable amount of knowledge in spelling and grammar to write a book.

I was going to close this one, but decided otherwise. You stop acting like a troll, this will remain open. One more nonesense from you, all your nonsense posts will be deleted.

I appreciate your enthusiam to create a book about gaming, but I'd say don't go for it without knowing you have talent in the field of writing, and knowing you have great knowledge about gaming. I'm not saying you don't have those two things, I really don't know you, lol. I'd say write a review or an informational peice online to first see if people like your stuff, and to see if you're happy with it. Take constructive criticism, and do more, similar things, then you can consider something as big as a book. ;)
I'm Matt. You may know me.

For you to write a book, you need to know how to write. Looking at your previous posts, you lack communication skills. You have very poor grammar and spelling which is the main skill you need to be able to write a book. I'm not sure if you are just very young or whatever, but I'd stick to internet blogs.

Besides if people want cheats and guides they would go online and get it for free. Most people already know the history about gaming. Others know everything about gaming history, so why would I want to buy this book. You have to look at what people want and need that they don't already know.

Apolo please don't intercept. You first and foremost should see the irony behind calling a mod a jerk considering your warnings. I also don't believe the comment he made towards one of the members "Stop crying about it" is a nice way to approach it.

As for the book idea it is very ambitious and would be a very lengthy process to get it all together, I don't think a market for an "all in one" book of gaming exists, it might be to cluttered and just get a bit confusing. I would stick to making segments and dedicating smaller articles to certain games, or subjects. Your best bet is to create a website, or have articles put up in a website to reach viewership.

You could always just use a site builder, which you can find by simply googling it.
