    ~ First Edition, 1988 ~
    Pinball. The Lure of the Silver Ball
    Gary Flower and Bill Kurtz
    Very Good Condition
    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. Theme games, celebrity-linked games, bumpers, kickers, solenoids and flippers, PINBALL is a delicious indulgence for the fanatical collector or competitor, and the casual player. This book is a peerless reference work, including an exhaustive list of all machines ever made in the US. Chicago has always been the home of pinball, where most machines are designed and built, but the story of European manufacture is fascinating in itself, with excellent and innovative contributions from companies such as Rally in France. Where to play, where to buy, simple maintenance, close analysis of the most influential machines, this book answers all the questions about one of the most addictive and successful games ever.
