Swoosh Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I am lucky enough to found a Perfect Memory Book while I was in Japan last week, it even comes with the poster, everthing looks just brand new. The condition is much better than Macross Plus book!!! Quote

Swoosh Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 Congrats. Is it the Oct 8 or 10 edition? It is the 1984 edition Quote
Mr March Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Congratulations. That's a good find. I love my Macrss Perfect Memory book. It truly is THE book to have for any fan of SDF Macross. It's also been invaluable in the building of my website Quote
Hiriyu Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 It is the 1984 edition I think that what Zinjo means is this: What does it say directly under the word "Perfect" on the front cover? "OUT-8", or "OUT-10"? Also, would you mind upping a pic of the back cover? Does it say "Macross Perfect Memory" on the back too? Is there small text on the back cover running vertically down near the spine, or price info in the upper right? Sorry for the interrogation - there are multiple reprints and bootlegs of this book, and we've been trying to get them sorted out here for quite a while Enjoy the book, as Mr. March states, it is really great.

Dante74 Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I've been looking for a decent copy of that book for some time now, but they're so damn expensive... Quote
Zinjo Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 "Out 10" is the 1984 book, and "Out 8" is the 1986 reprint. Now some are under the impression that only the 1984 edition came with a poster, but that is wrong. I bought mine new in 1986 and it came with a poster just like the 1984 edition. Quote
Swoosh Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 Here we go! I found that it should be 1983 edition. This Out 10, 1983 October I found that it should be 1983 edition. Inner front cover Inner back cover Poster: Tell me this is real!!!! Quote
Hiriyu Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Here we go! I found that it should be 1983 edition. This Out 10, 1983 October Tell me this is real!!!! Yep, you got one of the originals Quote
eugimon Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 wow, what a great find! thanks for sharing those photos with us! Quote
Zinjo Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) Congrats!!! That truly is a gem! You can tell by how white the newsprint pages still are. Now make sure you bag it to keep it's pristine condition, I wish I had thought of it way back when .... Edited August 25, 2007 by Zinjo Quote
s001 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I didn't have an idea about the content of that book. Where can I get one? new, used, whatever!!!!!!! Quote
Straycatt Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I just bought an Out 8 copy through a Barnes & Noble used book bookseller.... Nearly mint condition, minus the poster (which is okay as a friend got one of these back in 89 or 90 with two posters) for around $34.00....... SO how do I tell if mine is a bootleg??? -Adam Quote
Hiriyu Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) There's some info here: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...emory&st=20 You'll have to sift through it. Post up some pics, and it can probably be ID'd. To s001, I have an extra copy (yet another, have had about four of these books pass through my hands) of what Zinjo has identified as a 1990 reprint of the OUT 8 release, with poster, in very nice condition. Send me a PM if interested. Edited September 1, 2007 by Hiriyu Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) I do like the poster, but i never got it with mine. I paid a very small price for my copy though, and in mint condition. Still haven't had time to check for which version i got. I however, have got '2' Gold book posters and would gladly swap one of my Gold posters from one of my Gold books for the Macross poster that comes with the P/Memory book. Anyone can PM me if they think they'd like it (you know, the 1S poster). Edited September 1, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
