PlayStation Anthology.
THE PLAYSTATION
Simply revolutionary! With over 100 million consoles sold worldwide, the PlayStation truly changed the face of the gaming industry. The power of its technology, the design of its shell, the greatness of its library and marketing campaigns, all laying the groundwork for what has become one of the industry's most important driving forces. It was a culture-defining console, the combination of Ken Kutaragi's genius and the power of one the entertainment industry's most influential brands, as well as the boundless passion of so many other contributors over the years.
PLAYSTATION ANTHOLOGY
To celebrate a console that brought wonder into the lives of so many, and a brand that reshaped the whole entertainment industry, the authors retrace Sony's incredible journey, from the company's creation following World War II, to the machine's retirement in the early 2000's. Throughout the 26 interviews, important figures of the period recount their experiences with unabashed honesty, painting a detailed picture of the great venture led by Ken Kutaragi. Much like the Nintendo 64 Anthology, the PlayStation Anthology is unique in both form and content.
HISTORY
To fully appreciate the scale of the PlayStation phenomenon, you first have to learn of its genesis and the context in which it was developed, and understand the commercial and marketing power of Sony itself. The PlayStation Anthology sheds light on the birth of the PlayStation and Sony, the company's triumphs as well as its shortcomings, its strategies, technological advancements and, of course, its fantastical games library.

I have given this a great plug on Twitter and FB, so I'm hoping that help and shared the link from here of course
Nice one GF.. Does look a great book.
Looks good and I do love that early 90's era of video game history. Unfortunately for me these books are just so big and heavy and with the shipping costs it puts it out of the range I'd be willing to pay for it. I'm sure it will do well though.
Currently running at 76% with 13 days to go.
Apparently this book already exists but in French? And actually has many extras in that don't seem to appear here, so this actually an English translation but it's supposed to be a fantastic book. Well worth supporting.
Yeah all their books start in French and get translated, bah still annoyed they got the Neo Geo book and SNK did another deal with Bitmap Books so they had to cancel the English one.
The french release of the PS books are a set of three, i'm gonna pass on this one because the other books have more on the games rather than the interviews etc which this one is based on.
