Through the Moongate: Richard Garriott, Origin, and Ultima

Andrea Contato, an Italian author spent years interviewing former Origin employees and wrote a two volume book with never before revealed insights. The book is written and right now he is trying to fund the first volume's translation, printing and extras through Kickstarter. The campaign is on day four and over 60% funded. So probably a safe bet to pledge.
There is also a sample chapter in English and Italian, check it out.

Disclaimer: I *am* affiliated with the project. I personally know Enrico Ricciardi who is helping the author by leading the campaign and bringing in people that help with it (Enrico is big Ultima collector and we met several times over the last few years).
I am *not* getting any money out of the project, in contrary I'm pledging as everyone else. But I am involved by being in a small group of people that help with their knowledge and opinion to help get this project funded. Because I want to read the book! 😀
