PINBALL
PIN-UPS
A
Visual CELEBRATION of PINBALL ART
and the Women Who Grace Pinball Backboxes and Playfields
By
Michael
Thomasson
The
daring female imagery that graced vintage pinball art crackled
with the thrill of the forbidden and the sharp edge of rebellion.
Pinball Pinups restores credit to the many artists who created
that distinct visual language, elevating a once-dismissed
“bad boy” aesthetic and spotlighting breathtaking work by
often-overlooked creators. Equal parts love letter and cultural
excavation, the book honors the female form while tracing
pinball’s occasionally scandalous history. Lavishly illustrated
and annotated with pop-up notes on artists, machines, and
pivotal moments, it revels in the decadent glamour of an
era that feels fleeting and fiercely alive. Playful, affectionate,
and a little wicked, Pinball Pinups is a romp through the
saucy side of pinball—full of scandal, style, and irresistible
visual punch!

Downright Bizarre Games:
Video Games that crossed the line
By
Michael
Thomasson
Downright
Bizarre Games pokes fun at the
video game industry,
an entertainment business that often takes itself much too
seriously.
This is a hilarious look at the odd side of the industry,
from games
outside of the norm to bad art and outlandish dialogue.
Also featured are unfortunate headlines,
marketing fiascos and publicity stunts gone awry.
All these eccentric and strange events are documented within
this
book which gaming professionals wish had never seen print.
224 Pages,
FULL COLOR! Only $39.99 for the softcover or $49.99 for
the hardcover.
