This book, by Terpstra (@Ranja72) and Laptenio (@lapetino), is a complete history of Pac-Man. From its creation in Japan -- including the history of Namco -- to coming to America -- including the history of Midway and Bally -- to Pac-Man Fever (both the song and the craze) and beyond.
So, you're thinking, "big deal, they cover the song." Yes, but there's more than that. The Collector's Edition also comes with an exclusive, yellow vinyl 45 of "Pac-Man Fever" by Buckner & Garcia. This is the first time the 1999 re-recording has appeared on vinyl. The B-side is the commentary track from the Pac-Man Fever 30th Anniversary Edition album, also appearing on vinyl for the first time.
The Collector's Edition is limited to 2000 copies, but apparently hasn't sold out yet. (The ones hand-signed by Pac-Man creator Toru Iwatani have, however.) You can get it at the Cook and Becker website.
