Pinball!
Roger C. Sharpe

Photographs by James Hamilton.

This book covers the beginnings of pinball up to 1978, all the key figures that revolutionized the games, and tries to relay what the lure of the silverball is. But what this book is special is that he captured the essence on pinball though personal experiences and great photography (by James Hamilton) – and not just only photos of pinball machines, but of the arcade, hangouts, laundry mats, and people who frequented them. It is a time capsule of an amazing era where pinball was king and people actually went out to enjoy the company of others and experienced the world. Very scarce book!
