Hello,

Just letting you know about my plans for the 2005 Compendium. Have a
great 2005!


THE ATARI TIMES ANNOUNCES THE 2005 COMPENDIUM

January 1, 2005

For immediate release:

WINTER HAVEN, FL - The editor of The Atari Times (www.ataritimes.com)
has announced the upcoming February 1, 2005 release of the annual
paper-based book titled the 2005 Compendium. Copies will be available
for sale at www.cafepress.com/ataritimes.

The book will be at least 100 pages including news, features, reviews,
and previews for all Atari home systems that have appeared on the
website over the past year. These include articles for the Jaguar,
Lynx, 7800, 5200, 2600, home computers, and even the arcade systems.
In addition, the 2005 Compendium will include over 45 pages of
previously unreleased material as well as a color cover.

Gregory D. George, editor and writer for The Atari Times commented,
"My previous 4 books have been quite successful and I have been very
pleased at the response I received from the readers. This particular
book will have more new material never printed on the website."

From February 1, 2005 to February 7, the pricing for the 2005
Compendium is $13.95. After February 7, 2005, the price will be
$15.95. Shipping charges also apply.

Continued Mr. George, "As with last year's book, the 2005 Compendium
is seeking sponsors and advertisers. We are able to reduce the ad
prices drastically this year thanks to the fact that we are printing
the book through CafePress.com instead of local channels. Full page
ads are $10, half page ads are $7 and quarter page ads are $5. The
only requirement is that the ad be something Atari related. To buy an
ad, please contact Greg George at http://www.ataritimes.com/email"
