5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible book!, December 29, 2000

This review is from: The Complete Pinball Book (Hardcover)

I own over 10 different pinball books which I've bought over the years but none of them comes REMOTELY close to this one. This is an exhaustive book which has over 300 jam-packed pages of information. Every imaginable feature that has ever been in a pinball machine is documented in great detail throughout the book. There is even a chapter which talks about and lists every video pinball game ever made for home video game systems and PCs! If you have even a passing interest in pinball machines, you must have this book. Period. The price seems a little steep, but when you hold the actual book in your hands, you'll know where that money went...

Stunning!

This is the most detailed book that I have ever read on pinball machines to date. The number of photos is amazing. You can not turn a page with seeing more pictures. The book covers all aspects of the history of pinball. Definatly a coffee table book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mine of Information, February 22, 2002

This review is from: The Complete Pinball Book (Hardcover)

Having been a Pinball addict since my teens (too many years ago), I bought this book to re-live some of those memories. I was not disappointed. It is full of information on all types of machines together with excellent colour pictures. Many of my favourite pinballs of the sixties and seventies (but also modern ones if you prefer those) are featured together with explanations of what made them special.

The only problem is that it brought back my enthusiasm to such an extent that I went out an bought my own machine, so this book cost me a lot of money!
