As an avid midlife gamer with nostalgic interest in gaming history I enjoy reading gaming books.

In this picture you can see the gaming books I own. My favorite is “Masters of Doom” followed by “The Ultimate History of Video Games” (I am aware there is a second volume).

I would like to hear more recommendations from you.

P. S: Note that PC gaming is my thing therefore it is highly unlikely that I will get a book about consoles or console games.

    Freeway Warrior by Joe Dever. An eternal classic.

      I think this is a gamebook (as in CYOA)?

      I am actually looking for gaming books (about video games).

        Ah, I see. Well, the book for SCORN offers quite an interesting insight into the process of creation of this otherwise boring game. The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is also sweet.
