608 pages
ALL-NEW EDITION! A fascinating detailed chronicle of the video game phenomenon. Originally published privately by the author as "The First Quarter" (now a sought-after first edition) this all-new version contains 160 ADDITIONAL PAGES of new and corrected text. It's huge -- 608 pages laced with quotes, photos and historical tales by the folks who worked so steadily to hook us on their new arcade creations. Two and a half pounds of video game reading! Highly recommended for ANY coin-op hobbyist's library.


If any of you are interested in purchasing this, let me know ASAP.  I can get 5-10 copies of this pretty cheap if you're interested.  List price is $19.95.  I can sell them for say....  $8 plus the exact cost of shipping via the USPS.  Anyone who wants one, let me know.

I estimated the weight of the book at 2 lbs., but that was a complete guess.  I think the book is about 8.5 by 11 by 1.5 inches, but that is also an estimate.  It depends on how long you want to wait I guess.

I'm in also.
Is it anything like Game Over: An Illustrated History of Videogames(or some title close to that)?

It's prolly the best book I've ever read so if you don't have it get it! Sorry Mike, I got mine when I went to NYC back in July. If I didn't already have it I'd have bought one though Smiley

Well I picked these up today.  I have an extra if anyone wants it, and I might be able to get more.  THX and Anthony, PM me your addresses so I can get shipping prices for you.
