Fabien Sanglard, author of the Game Engine Black Book series, reports his Quake book has reached 720 pages with the Quake section nearly done; WinQuake, GLQuake, VQuake and QuakeWorld chapters remain. Amazon KDP caps print books at 840 pages, so the project may need to be split into two volumes. John Carmack shared the update. Photos show printed proof copies, lining up with the Wolfenstein 3D (i386) and DOOM (i486) books — Quake covers the Pentium era.
