Books about pinballs
« on: August 19, 2011, 08:41:39 PM »
My old friend lend me a book called "The Pinball Compendium", I just started to read it, it's very exciting and there is also a lot of stories and some history about the manufacturers like Williams, Gottlieb, Zaccaria, etc.

It is the latest compilation in the row from 1982 to present, but there is also one from 1930-60:

The Electro Mechanical Era (my favourite ones, with beautiful arts)

And from 1970-81


Some pics, not only for the pinball lovers ;D







And this would be Ully's first pinball :P

I have to give it back tomorrow, but I'm planning to buy 3 of the 4 books in the near future, so I can scan it to you if it's not a rush. ;)

I already have 3 of the 4 books (EM era, 1970-1981, 1982-) :-*.
Fiend (aka caincan) : they worth the price (about $50 per book).
