This is a german book about pinball I have. I bought it for 15 euro at the Rosmalen collectors show.
It was published in the early 1990s.

The text is in german so I can't comment on the contents..

It has a lot of nice pictures in it. Flyers, playfield details, backglasses, special machines, ..

What I find interesting is that it shows (and talks) about machines made in Germany.
There were a lot of machines (pinball, gambling, ..) made from the 1930s until the 1970ies in Germany, Rotamint and Bergmann are two known names. But there is not a lot documented about the games they made.

Unfortunately there is no information with a lot of the pictures. Ie there are pictures of a customised Strikes and Spares game that has totally new artwork, but no word about who did it.

So this book is a nice addition in a collection, as it shows you some things you won't find in other pinball books.

An english hardcover translation also exists, its title is just Pinball.
