## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Layouts
*by A***N on November 2, 2015*

I've read a number of Parish's books and it's a clear a ton of work goes into the layouts. Excellent photography and magazine style pages make this a quick read with lots to look at. Too many gaming books are dry with nothing but walls of text, not here. I really hope to see more books in this series. Looking forward to covers with Play It Loud gameboys in place of the original grey brick.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well done book. Very informative and through. ...
*by M***W on July 6, 2016*

Very well done book. Very informative and through. My only annoyance is I had to buy the book twice, the second time for the "XL" size to match future books.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like any good critic
*by T***. on May 8, 2016*

Game Boy World: 1989 recounts early US and Japanese releases for the perennial handheld and features write-ups on both gameplay and quality. There are color photos of the cartridge, packaging and the game itself. I was fascinated by the level of detail, particularly around the Japanese development teams responsible for creating these titles (of which little is known). The author, Jeremy Parish, is not entirely objective, but that is to be expected given that each article includes a review. Like any good critic, he provides context for his opinions and is never unfair. In total, it's a fast, fun and informative read.
