It's not too late to order a copy for the holidays!

My book Invading Spaces: A Beginner's Guide to Collecting Arcade Games is, well, just that. Most of the technical information in Invading Spaces is geared toward those looking to purchase their first cabinet, or those just getting into the hobby. The book includes chapters dedicated to buying games, moving games, the basics of physical and electronic repairs, building the ultimate game room, flipping games for a profit, and MAME cabinets. The book also contains several humorous arcade-related stories of mine, mostly accounts of funny things that I have encountered during my arcade-collecting travels.

If you would like to check it out, the first chapter is available for free in PDF format here.

Copies are $20, which includes priority shipping for the holidays. You can order copies through my website or drop me a PM. All copies are autographed.

For those of you interested in old computers and specifically BBSes, I am currently offering a $5 discount to those who also buy Commodork: Sordid Tales from a BBS Junkie at the same time.
