I've been meaning to post an unsolicited plug for my friends Brian Ashcraft & Jean Snow's new book, Arcade Mania: The Turbo-charged World of Japan's Game Centers. It actually sold out around Christmas time which is my excuse for the delay. I've had my copy for awhile and think that anyone interested in Japanese gaming culture will find it very entertaining. For less than $14, you can't go wrong.

Click through to Amazon (and scroll down) to check out my video review!
