Review: Must read for Nintendo fans - The publisher, Pix'n Love Publishing, has always done an incredible job researching their books pertaining to an entertainment medium that still is very young. This is the most comprehensive look at the history of Nintendo from their inception until the time they really began a concerted effort into the video game market. The amount of pictures and images of the many creations of Nintendo throughout the years is truly amazing, and I have not found any web-site that remotely gets close to the presentation found in this book. While Nintendo is presently at a fork in the road, this book is a wonderful read for those that have an appreciation for Nintendo and want to have a better understanding on the history of how a card company go transform itself into a global video game company.
Review: Insanely Thorough Book, Many full color photos!! - This is literally the HISTORY of the Nintendo company, its family and the games and product it produced from 1889-1980. I have yet to read ALL of this book but from what I have seen and read so far it is really AMAZING!! Before this book I had no idea Nintendo had been around over 100 years!! No idea they made card games, board games, ALL kinds of games, etc. The book is very thorough and covers A LOT of ground, has a very precise and detailed history, etc. And it is packed with hundreds of very clear full color pictures on almost every subject it covers!! If you love Nintendo and want to know about its past and how it came about then you NEED this book!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book with information and photos you won't find anywhere ...
*by R***L on August 13, 2014*

Amazing book with information and photos you won't find anywhere else. I pictured the book as a coffee table sized book but it has the dimensions of a hardback book. But that doesn't diminish the great content inside.
