The paramount bathroom book, High Score is a visual feast, with pictures of long-forgotten machines and games. There's also a personal twist to everything, as the author seems to love video games as much as his readers. It won't win the Pulitzer, but for what it is, it's great.
I enjoyed this book. It was fun reading about how video-games have evolved into the modern day, and how consolses and that have become how they are.
