About this title

Synopsis

This book provides a complete survey of the ultimate 20th-century toy, the graphic artistry, the technical innovations-from the 1930s, when the game was little more than coin-operated bagatelle, to the present day, when machines talk back. Pinball is also a peerless reference work, including an exhaustive list of all the machines ever made in the United States.
