Matt Wang | January 5, 2010 | 6:53 pmHappy New Year Top8Magic Fans,
BDM, Mike and I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year! We have many exciting plans for this upcoming year and we want to thank you all for your support.
BDM will be posting a cool draft walk through with a podcast that he recorded right before Christmas with Steve Sadin.
We are also recording a podcast with The Zvi to discuss My Files Part 1 and we hope to have a preview of My Files Part 2 out this week.
We also want to thank all of you who picked up a copy of My Files Part 1 and wanted to know what you thought of it. We have not seen any reviews yet, so please send them over or post your thoughts here.
Best,
Matt Wang
I got my copy of MF1 before the holidays and am working my way through it. It’s a great walk down memory lane. It’s hard to say anything new about it since they’re all old articles, but:
(1) The new commentary is great. I like that Zvi’s talking about writerly stuff, and I’m hoping for more of that (in addition to whether the article’s ideas still fly.)
(2) There are a lot spelling errors and mistyped card names (which if I recall were carried over from the source material). Given the age of the material, I suppose it’s not that surprising. If there were a way to community-proof the text, I’d be down for that, but it’s not a huge deal.
Missing some classics such as (I think) “you’re not going to Japan.” I understand there will be another edition, but it would make more sense to just get everything in chronological order rather than have gaps in this book and then another book to fill in those gaps.
