Hello! Looking for something to get the pinhead in your life? Or want something to help explain why you love rolling a ball up and down a piece of plywood so much? May I humbly offer my graphic novel, PINBALL: A Graphic History of the Silver Ball, as a potential solution! You can find out more details about my book on my publisher's page for the book here: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250249210/pinball

My wife and I just had our first child in August, and next week I transition into full-time caregiver! I'm super excited to spend time with her, and wanted to do a last little bit of spreading the word about my book before I go full dad-mode.

I loved this book! The art style is very cool and the content hits a lot of high notes about the history, skills, and culture of pinball. Great job Jon and congratulations on the new baby!

Thank you! She has been a very chill baby so far. We went over to a friends house and they have an Earthshaker. It was the first pin she'd seen and she was absolutely ensorcelled!

Jon, I'm not sure why you posted this in the "Off-Topic" sub-forum. It's very much on-topic, and a great gift to give!
