The international edition of PINBALL, a beautiful photo book by Argentinean photographer Santiago Ciuffo, is now available in 13 languages in the webshop of www.pinball-magazine.com. The book features a wide range of full-page photos of pinball machines in Argentina and the Argentinean pinball scene. See the photos below.

Besides giving an inside look on pinball in Argentina, the book also showcases the often forgotten art on pinball machines. Ciuffo’s eye for detail is shown in photos of games with artwork by artists like Roy parker, George Molentin, Gordon Morison, Doug Watson, Christian Marche, Paul Faris, Greg freres, Kevin O’Connor and others.

Being mostly a photo book the pages with text, describing a bit of pinball history and the situation in Argentina, are only a few. These text pages however are available in 13 different languages. The book itself contains English, French and German. The other 10 languages (Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish) are available as separate 8-page supplements.

Speaking of supplements: the book comes with a special supplement Issue of Pinball Magazine, featuring a 4-page interview with photographer Santiago Ciuffo in 12 languages, including photos that are not in the book. This magazine is also available as a free digital download on www.pinball-magazine.com.

Special bonus:
With the first 500 orders a free set of 10 exclusive postcards with photos by Ciuffo that were not published in the book will be included as well. These postcards will also be distributed separately at various pinball shows, but never as a set. See for more info: www.pinball-magazine.com.

Thanks for your order Travis. I put up a subscription form on the PM website where those interested in a reprint of PM01 can leave their email address. If you haven't done so, please do. It is the easiest way for me to see how many people are interested and whether a reprint is justifyable. Thanks!

Last Thursday Santiago Ciuffo's new photo book 'PINBALL' was announced and ready to order. Tomorrow the first batch of books will ship! Is your copy not yet in that batch? Just go to www.pinball-magazine.com, read all info and order it right away.

"We received a book today. Younger son Nate (4) could not hide his excitement. He recognized couple of pinball machines from our small collection and happily took a picture with a new book.
Thanks Pinball Magazine and Santiago for bringing pins back to life and promoting them to the young generations." - Teo

Thanks for the feedback

I'm pretty sure by the time Issue 3 becomes (finally) available there will be something like a package deal.

I'm sure we'll work something out. Just got back from a few days out of the office. Keep an eye on your email.

Congratulations on your find regarding Roger's book. I'm interested to read what you will have to say about Santiago Ciuffo's book. There has been feedback of people reminding the book about Roger's book, which I think is a great compliments. However, I do realize they may not have been looking into Roger's book for a while and / or as detailed as you recently did. Looking forward to hear what you'll have to say.

Th third batch shipped out yesterday. The next batch is expected to ship out early July.
In the mean time I was interviewed by Charlie Emery for Spooky Pinball Podcast # 51, which became available today. Randy Parlow of ColorDMD is also on the show as a special guest. Check it out at http://www.spookypinball.com/podcast-2/

Thanks for writing and sharing this review Rob. Very thorough and in-depth.

The feedback gallery for the PINBALL book by Santiago Ciuffo on www.pinball-magazine.com is becoming more and more interesting. It includes photos of numerous pinball industry veterans like Steve Ritchie, Barry Oursler, John Popadiuk and many others, as well as feedback from non industry people who ordered the book. Take a look, you may be missing out on something great! www.pinball-magazine.com

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm already using the thickest carboard packaging avialable. Obviously once the packages are shipped they are 'out of my hands' but that doesn't mean I'm not looking after them. I've had pristine packages arriving and a few that were dropped, or who knows what happens with them. I'll be discussing this with DHL tomorrow.
