Bum bag sounds funny, but when I learned what fanny meant to you Brits I couldn't help but laugh every time someone said it.

If you've found this sneaky comment then, congratulations, you've found a sneaky preview link to the first 10 pages of the book www.hachette.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Gadgets-Gizmos-GimmicksBOOK_1-10.pdf

A nice 1st 10 pages

Just ordered both your books as Christmas gifts for my 9 year old who loves retro tech including my Commodore 64C, VIC 20 & two Amigas. I will be reading them as well.

I love this

"It's no longer 2018" Can it be 2018 again please?

I've asked my wife to get this for me for Christmas. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I loved Retro Tech so much and still pick it up every week!

Can't wait for this book. I use to carry so much tech with me. From my Walkman, to a Psion Organiser, to the GameBoy, and so many more.

Ha I would have laughed at you with my palm pilot, hang on a sec while I remember an entire form of short hand in order to do so on a tiny monochromatic screen, once I get the stupid notepad open, but I need to be in the right light... wait never mind, the battery is dead.

Pre-ordered your new book before I even finished the video. I enjoyed your Retro Tech book. Looking forward to the new one!

Wasn't expecting this video to be an ad.

@2:29 you gave me goosebumps! My first ever tape player was a Walkman and my first tape was a Maxwell copy of a Dire Straits album, with Sultans of Swing, Money for Nothing and others..

Pre ordered. I can't wait to read through all this retro goodness !!

Geeking out on the T-120 hoodie.

So cool to see you! I've watched tons of your videos. And only nerds could understand the excitement!

The fact that you've already got an audio book ready for launch is what sold me. You got my dollars.

Can’t wait for this one! Loved the retro tech book 😊

Curious note, here in Mexico we are also acquiring the term "mobile" for cell phones. Seems saying cell phone is mostly used now for older non-smart phones now, at least here.

Really looking forward to this! Loved the first book!

Pre-ordered and looking forward to reading it....loved the last one.

Man, that VHS tape hoodie is *chef's kiss*

On pre-order (as you know!) looking forward to it!

Yes, pre-ordered it. And second copy of retro tech. Nice!

Congrats, man. I've been trying to get published for a long time. I know how much hard work it is. And to do it twice? Congrats, again. I can't wait to get my copy.

It’s like a retro tech Wikipedia in print. Preordering once it’s on your Twitter.

You cover some of the most nostalgic content... that a lot cover in a very mundane way, but you do it in an interesting way. Unfortunately I only stumbled upon you a couple weeks ago, but I guess I got years of videos to watch.

new book looks great, think I'll get myself a copy for christmas.

preordered it! thanks for making this book mate!

Gratz on the new book :) love how Amazon think I should by the Mega Drive Mini together with your book 😄 some of that retro tech is too old for me, and some of it is my childhood :) Good Times :)

Placed my pre-order on Audible, looking forward to it

Pre-ordered!! Can't wait!

It is amazing how we've come this far.

Bravo- looking forward to it!

book is looking awesome

1:35 No wonder why it seems like the UK gets things at the different time than Americans. Their actual dates translate to something different in American English.

is that T-120 hoodie purchaseable anywhere? :O looks so friggin cool

His first book was REALLLLLY good. Can’t wait for the new one!

ohhhh... so THAT is all the retro tech inside my phone. It's a book that's coming out. Every day is a school day.

Yo I'm going to be 100% honest, I have used your book as an guide to many systems that I don't own and probably will never (e.g. the Jaguar) and only emulate the 3 games you mention genuinely speaking I agree with your choices.

Dang. Always out if country for the good giveaways. Still happy to check out the book tho 😀

Funny thing is I have a Dire Straits cassette tape lying around 😂

How did you know I had Dire Straits on my phone ready to blast into my ears regardless of whether or not I have that particular Walkman?

Oh cool! I've won a contest that I didn't enter! I'd better get my bat so I can hit you up as hard as possible! 🤑

I would have just been happy with my signed copy of the first book, but almost 6 weeks of being pissed about has put me off getting the new one.

I'm not gonna lie I never knew you had a book the first time around so I might have to pick up the new one

Nice to have tech history, very educational, congrats on new book!

Awesome video, seen you around Norwich few times, wanted to say hello but didn't wanna ruin your filming 😇

I lusted over the Amstrad Notepad for years. Never got to own one.

I hope the flipcam makes an appearance

Yeah, I guess "fanny pack" must conjure up some interesting images in the UK.😆

I purchased your first book with great enthusiasm…and I can’t even read.

Ordered. 😁 Think I spotted a few items I owned back in the day! 😁

Looks smeggin cracking!

Ordered! Thanks, Peter!

Guess this was a smash hit!

where can i get that VHS sweatshirt?

Seems really interesting!

Didn't know! Instantly bought both!

Ooo congratulations on your new book 😊

NICE!!! I’ll look forward to reading it sir.

Glass is a very retro tech and most phones use it to cover the screen.

On my Christmas list 😍

Def preordering this :o

Pre-Ordered via Google Play shop.....wish I had the space for books....I dont...too many games and consoles.

well done on the new book!

just ordered one.

My wife just brought this home from the Library for me. I said "Hey?! I watch this guy on youtube!" and said that I was going to have to buy the book after I finished reading it. She said but I could just borrow it from the Library again, whenever I wanted?! :D

I do have a soft spot for portable stuff... its probably where I do the most gaming. Hell, I had a palm pilot at one point and it was mostly used for playing Wonderswan games. :P (and yes, LCD games count!)

Wonderswan games seem like an odd choice. Exactly what Palm handheld was it?

@@jnharton No idea at all. It was decades ago now. I remember it having dark blue plastic and a "lid" that clipped onto the back. I may have been a generic "digital organiser" of some kind. Either way, it didn't do much, and finding out it could handle portable games was a boredom cure.

"My name is Nostalgia Nerd." Is that what your passport says?

Preordered, cheers

Wait a second it’s your second book?!😮

I want that VHS hoodie

That's one of the Xmas prezzies my misses can get me then. loved the last book and got it for Xmas. Shame I'm excluded for living in Northern Ireland though on the give away🤦🏻‍♂️

Fourth prize gets you Sarah all year..

This add worked..... Ordered the book

It’s a cool book BUT the title is freaking damn misleading ,why not calling it the retro phone tech book promotion instead? Damnit.

Uhh... saw a glimpse of the Amstrad NC100 in there...

Pre ordered!

I've always just know you as "nostalgia nuhd". Puh-hops I am wrong? Then again, I live in Americur, so that must explain it.

I have ready ordered the new, And I ordered the 2018 book on Amazon.

Who does the NostalgiaNerd voice over for the audio book?

Hi. I've seen the book on eBay as well. As i use PayPal can i purchase it there?

Very cool!

I clicked expecting a video about the retro tech a mobile phone has replaced but instead got a four minute advert for a book. Very very misleading.

Now, I don't want to brag, but I've developing an app and a plug-in adapter that will convert your phone into a fully, semi-functional Sinclair C3!

Amazon hardback preorder, ordered

Hi Peter, just a 'heads up', I've tried pre-ordering the Audible version using my credits and it consistently goes to a dead link displaying: 'We’re sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site.' I just thought I'd let you know... Ben

I’d preordered this book a couple of months ago, after reading the first one 😊 Love this kind of stuff, right up my street!

Can I get both your books in a neat little bundle?

You mean we have to use our hands!? That's a baby's toy!

week made!

I asked on Facebook but got no response. I'm curious what specifically about Northern Ireland law prevents this competition from being valid there? I know in Canada we have to answer a skill-testing question. If you want to include Quebec you have to register your contest with a competition bureau and it's so complicated that many completions say (excludes Quebec).

I'm from Northern Ireland. The gambling laws are different here than in the rest of the UK. A competition like this can be considered as a 'game of chance' i.e.you have to buy something (the book) in order to enter. Once money changes hands it's technically gambling therefore different laws apply here NI. Madness? Yes but just the way it is in the wonderful 'United' Kingdom.

Damn proud to have another one of your books. The first one is of magnificent quality, this one (already pre-ordered!) will look great sitting next to it on my electronics workbench. These books are easily worth double the asking price. Thank you for the work you've put into your books.

Is it just me, or is there an audio buzz in the talking head segments??

Awesome I loved your first book dude so this is a must, preordered and entered!

Shameless plug for that Nostalgia Nerd guy How much is he paying you?

Excellent

Just preordered! Your last book was great and still sits on my shelf.

The most dapper chap on KZread. 🥳 Glad to see more uploads recently!

Have this book for about a month on my wish list and saw the other day that the release date is a few days 🙂 I am gonna buy it for sure 😊

Dingbot!

Jesus... I'd love to pre-order but damn, 275% of the price of a regular book is a bit much.
