[admin] comments on this blog

I recently learned that I had not been receiving notification of any comments on this blog.  At some point, the contact email disappeared from all 3 of my blogs and comments were sitting in "Moderation Approval" limbo for over 2 years!

I apologize to everyone for the frustration.  Please do comment and I will do my best to respond.  I can also be reached at thetastates@gmail.com.  Please put 'pinballnovice' in the subject of the email so it does not get missed.  :)

new scan: Pinball - An Illustrated History by Michael Colmer (1976)

Another book I donated has been scanned.  This one was an extra copy I had, and the pages were already separated from the spine, but still in good condition.

Building a Tivoli board from "A Big Book Of Hobbies", circa 1920s?

WorldCat list this book as being first published in the 1920s.

Examples of games like the design above, often labeled "Tivoli Game of Chinese  Billiard", but these use a cue to push the balls and not a springed plunger.
