We are pleased to have received several helpful replies to our
call for an awakening of those interested in aiding the cause of
pinball appreciation and preservation.
(Coin Slot, March 1978).

Slot readers are encouraged to contact Donald for details on pur
chasing a copy of this list.

space as time permits.
The quality of some of these books is
excellent; some are disappointing.
