 Crest - demoscene book review
demoscene: the art of realtime (isbn 952-91-7022-X) by even lake studios and katastro.fi is the first book about the computer demoscene (earlier there were only books which covered the demoscene as part of the hacker and cracker scene).
the pages about the demoscene eras describe typical things of the three eras (computers, demo features, typical parties, status of the first sceners etc.), but i doubt that the most first sceners of the oldskool era were dreaming of a 'job in a national game magazine'.
demoscene: the art of realtime is for sure a very informative book for people which are new to this scene or just want to know more than the typical hacker cliché.

 Welcome to Hugi, the leading PC Diskmag.
Besides demos, demosceners also make other productions, for example musicdisks (collections of music tunes embedded in graphical interfaces), artdisks (the same but for graphics), wild demos (demo-like productions which do not fit the party's rules for the demo compo, often movies/animations or demos for uncommon systems like Playstation) or intros.
The topics of demoscene diskmags are mainly demoscene-related, but there are also diskmags which have their emphasis on other issues.
Demoscene diskmags usually publish news about the scene, interviews with famous sceners, results and reports about parties, hints for coders, graphicians and musicians, discussions about the recent developments in the scene (both from the technical and the social point of view), demo reviews, and charts.

Demosceners have programmed demos and intros on a large variety of hardware platforms and operating systems ranging from 8 bit machinery like c64, to game consoles like gameboy and dreamcast, to the latest pentium 4 class pc.
Although there are books that were written by demosceners ('pc underground' springs to mind) or books that slightly touch that topic, but there is no book ABOUT the demoscene.
This might be due to the fact, that the demoscene, in contrast to the 'hacker' and warez scene is unknown to a wider public audience and totally legal (and hence not 'thrilling' enough), decreasing a publishers' intrest to 'close to zero'.
