Titled Grails. The Cool, the Rare and the Obscure of Arcade Games
So, nearly 4 months overdue, and over a year since my first book, the newest coffee-table book for your reading pleasure is available. It's the direct sequel to the first coffee-table book I created titled Bits, Sticks, and Buttons. While the first book covered in light-hearted detail the unofficial list of the 50 greatest arcade games of all time, this book now takes a turn in the opposite direction- detailing the 50 most lusted-after gems from the arcades. These games may not necessarily have sold thousands of units, or become household names in the general public, but they are all the games we, as gamers, have come to pray to. These are our false idols, our golden cows, our sacred deities. We love 'em and cant get enough of them....if we could ever just FIND them!.
The promo video should sum it all up:

Also, here is the direct link to Blurb.com for ordering:

The 80 page, full-color portrait sized book is going to run you $40 these days. Hey, don't blame me...that's the price we all gotta pay for print-on-demand publishing. If you already have the first book, this is the perfect compendium of arcade goodness to keep it company. It works out perfectly. Imagine, now as you sit on the shitter, ready to drop a deuce, you will have the choice of either browsing thru the 50 games that we all should know about and should own, or reading thru the 50 hardest-to-find, and most sought-after icons from yesteryear.
Questions? Ask me here. Comments? Post 'em. Bash me for not including your favorite game? Go ahead, I can take it.
Thanks for all your help across the community for helping to get this book completed. A lot of you guys (and girls) went above and beyond to really create a great source of (what is considered by many) to be the end-all list of GRAIL arcade games!!!
