Actually the book ends at 2015, and D:OS2 is mentioned on the D:OS1 review.

But it would be $60 for a softcover CreateSpace version chopped down to 480 pages. Not exactly a premium product. :/

I actually already talked with Toni Bratincevic to get an idea of how such job would work. He's my #1 choice. :)

Thanks, but it's a last resort. That wouldn't even require a crowdfunding campaign, I just upload the files and that's it.
Since I've spent over 4 years now on this, why not dream higher? I think it's worthy to try to make something cooler, of higher quality and cheaper for everyone.
The book doesn't even have a cover yet, so I might hire an amazing artist as stretch goal or something like that. :)

The book is still being written. There will an introductory article on the PLATO RPGs, as well as on the first MUDs and MMORPGs.

Thanks for the tip. The problem is that Parish publish his books through Amazon's CreateSpace, which is powerful but extremely expensive... printing the CRPG Book in color through it would cost more than $60 per unit. :/
I would love to do something like the Bitmap Books ( https://www.bitmapbooks.co.uk/collections/all ), which have great quality and a decent price, all funded via Kickstarter.

Never heard this one before. Also, there's no "current definition" - people of different ages, countries and backgrounds all use different definitions.
There's no international and commonly accepted authority defining the one true standard.

It's a preview, more games are still being added.
Also, Bard's Tale is there - pg. 48.
