Coin-Op Carnival Book Signing with Ryan Claytor

Pinball aficionados, this is for you!

Coin-Op Carnival, a new 64-page print publication, is the only source for full-color, completely illustrated content about electro-mechanical coin-operated devices (pinball and arcade games prior to 1978).

Each issue includes an interview with a game designer, in-depth game reviews, technical information, product reviews, and comics.

The entire publication features new full-color illustrations on each page from university professor and comics artist, Ryan Claytor. "We cannot be more proud to release this to the public," says co-author Nicholas Baldridge.

Valley native Ryan Claytor, artist and co-author, had this to say, "Nick and I conceived of this project over two years ago. Since that time, we've been dedicating a tremendous amount of time and research to this important historical document that we hope will be accessible to both pinball aficionados and newcomers to this rich and fascinating industry."
