Yesterday an episode dropped on the Retronauts free feed which featured, among other folks, Evan Amos, who is responsible for most of the retro console photos on Wikipedia. Turns out he also has a book featuring his photography. His console photos are very good at showing off the contours and details and in many cases now include some disassembly component photos. If anyone is interested, here's his Wikimedia Commons page with links to all his work. There are some retro PC omissions, but it's a pretty good list overall.

I got the new version of his book for my library, it's a very nice volume that's fun to flip through. He's really done a great service to the retro community with his photos!

I am interested in that book. It would be a lovely coffee table piece next to my Art of Atari book.

I have both of these! Both are nicely done...

I became aware of his work not too long ago. Someone featured it in a video, I wanna say it was My Life In Gaming or a similar channel. I wasn't aware he has a book though, I'll have to look into that.
