Looking for a good coffee table book

Looking for a good coffee table book on arcades and/or pinball machines,
something to browse when I'm not playing or building, or online.
Preferably something akin to a portable MAWS with photos if such
a thing exists...

there is only one book worth leaving on the coffee table:
Project Arcade: Build Your Own Arcade Machine
of course.

I recently purchased a nice book on arcades and gaming called "Supercade: A Visual History of the Videogame Age, 1971-1984". http://www.supercade.com/
There are 2 versions, 1 hardcover (439pages) and the other is softcover (448pages). I grabbed the softcover one. It is in interesting mix of cool stories and great in your face graphics from some of the best known and some lesser known games. There are TONS of full color images in there! Check out the index here http://www.supercade.com/content/index.html

ARCADE FEVER The Fan's Guide to The Golden Age of Video Games
This is a great book for a coffee table. Easy reading, as it only has one game per page. All the classics in it as well. I think it would be perfect. I have this one.
