Sure, it does not contain the genius of Van artwork Burhams' "Supercade", nor the depth of the facts like Kent's "Ultimate History of Videogames" but it does an excellent job of being a "light version" of Both the above Mentioned books.
If you like this book, you'll love the definitively Both books above. Burhams book is my favorite for flipping through and Kent's book is great reading for details about the background (lawsuits etc).
Arcade Fever is a great book on its own as well, and contains some information not Mentioned in the above books.
