Dynamite Entertainment has partnered with Diamond Book Distributors for the international distribution of the regular and deluxe editions of the Art of Atari book.

"Art of Atari is a truly historic event. A book like this is an essential document in the history of video games, and belongs on the shelf of every gamer or pop culture fan," said Kuo-Yu Liang, VP of Sales & Marketing at Diamond Book Distributors. "The entire team here at Diamond is excited to have been given the task of ensuring that is exactly what happens."

The book is available in two different editions and represents a comprehensive retrospective, with more than 350 pages that collect production and concept artwork, photos, and marketing materials. Insight is provided from key people involved in Atari’s history, with behind-the-scenes details on how some of the most iconic video games in the industry’s early history were illustrated and developed.

"The team at Diamond Book Distributors have been a fantastic ongoing partner for Dynamite's bookstore distribution efforts," says Dynamite CEO and Publisher, Nick Barrucci. "However, to see the incredible international success they have achieved with such titles as The Walking Dead and Dark Horse's The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia gives us confidence that they are the right partner to ensure that Art of Atari will be one of the greatest successes Dynamite has ever achieved, on every level and every continent. We're extremely confident that we've set our initial print run at 75,000 units of the $39.99 Edition plus additional copies on the $100 Deluxe Edition with the hopes of having enough through the holidays."
