I've always wanted to have a book like this because even as a young child I was always fascinated by slot machines and was curious about its history. Glad I came upon this book as it gives a thorough history lesson starting with the earliest slot machines in the 1890's up until the late 1990's with the modern computerized machines.The book is nicely bounded, thick and heavy(will look really nice on the book shelf or coffee table). And there are plenty of vibrant, color and b&w pictures throughout the book of all the beautiful classic slots. Just a great overall book for slot lovers with great pictures and plenty of info on the history of Slot Machines.
