Re: My New Book

[Anglobritish]

I just wanted to inform all of the members that I will be at the Chicagoland show in April, promoting my new books, my first book "The Golden Age of Coin Operated Machines" A Pictorial history on early Amusement Games. is now available through Crow River Trading Co, and is listed under "New Arrivals".

My second book will be coming out in late February entitled "Who was Who"-in the 1930's Coin Machine Industry.

This book will put faces on the people that created and distributed some of the most collectible machines in your collections, any of the books that I publish will be based on the actual facts as reported in the trade magazines during the start up of the great coin operated machine industry all those years ago. I feel that my style of researching can only answer a lot of questions about machines that we know so well, but had a lot of guess work attached to them, even by some of us who have been collectors since the early 1970's.

A typical product was the Peo Whirl Wind, that had the game installed in so many different cabinets, it was very confusing just who did produce the game. this subject had a fair amount of "chatting" on this site over the past few weeks, In the next few day's, I will be posting several advertising pages from 1931, that will clear up any misunderstandings that as come about regarding this very popular game of 1931.

This will be given to the CoinOpCollectorForum "Exclusively".

Hope to meet many of you in person at the Chicagoland Show.

Hope you all have a prosperous and Happy New Year.
