Re: Games of the Vic20 book?
No, I don't know it. This one was on the same page as a recommendation http://www.amazon.com/The-VIC-20-Encycl ... 519112890/
I have it, and I would say it's a 'print on demand book'. Not much thicker than a magazine (similar paper quality), all pics/illustrations in black and white. Not really worth the 30 euros or whatever I paid for it.
Looking at the online preview, I'd say this "The Games of the Commodore VIC-20" is not much better.

Re: Games of the Vic20 book?
Wonder if it could be like many books, reprints of Wiki articles.

Re: Games of the Vic20 book?
Correct Mayhem, it is a collection of Wikipedia articles. A friend of mine got it for me for Christmas.
The articles are of varying length and quality, some with only a passing mention of the VIC 20 and some (like The Wizard and the Princess) not actually related to the VIC 20 release.
The print quality is quite good and the book is physically well produced but the content is nothing that can't be found online.
