The 2009 eSports Yearbook has been released, and is available to buy from Amazon.

From e-sports players to managers, from event organisers to university professors, more than 25 people have contributed to what the editors hope will become an annual publication.

With names such as Alessandro "stermy" Avallone, David Hiltscher and Manuel "grubby" Schenkhuizen in the list, it's sure to be an interesting read. It also acts as a chronicle of the year with all the big stories being detailed. All articles have been lovingly solicited and edited by Julia Christophers and Tobias Scholz.

You will find a short overview about the book and a link to buy it at Amazon Germany, United Kingdom (should soon be buyable) and Japan. It can be ordered from any bookstore with the ISBN (978-3839164310).

The almanac is a new endeavour and this is its first year so the people behind it would like to make it a success. If you have any questions or feedback you can contact them over contact@esportsyearbook.com.
