Title: New "For the Gamer" Display at Barnes & Noble Post by: ColecoVisionist on October 28, 2014, 09:01:23 PM Beginning today and lasting through the holidays, each of the 616 Barnes & Noble locations has a "For the Gamer" end-cap display.
You can find a variety of new offerings, including my "100 Greatest" book: http://www.brettweisswords.com/2014/10/for-gamer-at-barnes-noble.html That Barnes & Noble would carry such a book, the bulk of which consists of games for the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, ColecoVision, etc., is a nice illustration of just how mainstream retro gaming has become. The new Flashback consoles are a great indicator as well. As far as I'm concerned, this is a good thing.

A really fun read, and a buddy was over flipping through it and picked what looked like only game in there I didn't have! :) / :(
