It's a brilliant book, that focuses on "low-cost" home computers and game consoles from the mid '70 to the late '80s, with tons of photographs of original models, and designer interviews. The author also fills the paragraphs and margins with cool trivia and invaluable historic information. Did you know that there was a connection between the Commodore 64 and the Atari ST? (Of coarse you did.)
For a guy with an admitted love for dusty old, yellowing plastic boxes... this book is perfect.
