SynopsisEagerly anticipated, this update of the highly regarded third book from pinball author Michael Shalhoub includes over 900 color photos and covers the most recent period in pinball history, from 1982 through 2011. Each chapter is devoted to a specific year and features descriptions, release dates, and historical background on the games released that year from manufacturers Gottlieb, Williams, Bally, Data East, Stern, Sega, and others. Current values are listed for each machine shown in the book. Interspersed with the games are stories and interviews with many of the legendary designers and artists who created them. Readers will gain fascinating insight into the planning that went into the games, how the designers and artists got their start in the industry, behind-the-scenes tales of life in the pinball world, and more. "Michael Shalhoub's Pinball Compendium is a great documentary of our business," says designer Steve Ritchie of the second book in the trilogy. Along with its two companion volumes (the first covering the 1930s-1960s and the second covering 1970-1981), this book is a must-have for all who love the sights and sounds of the world's great pinball machines.

You won’t be on the edge of your seat, not a “page turner” but might be a reference book for the lost pins of the world.
It focuses more on who made the machines than WHY they are cool in their uniqueness. Anything you ever needed to know about the pins you own can be better found on the web. It’s a comprehensive reference to the titles, but you won’t find yourself reading it fromt to back. Lots of name dropping that is way beyond what I care about having repaired/restored 3 pins and still own them all.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
