Customer Reviews

Disappointed with this book.

I was disappointed with this book because it was not only thin, but they copied everything from Wikipedia. Even the sources in the back say Wikipedia. I was hoping for a thicker book with the history of the consoles and games. But what I got were pages that were photo copied straight from Wikipedia.
