The book is a dedicated historical retrospective of the Mills Novelty Company, which dominated the coin-operated amusement market during the 1930s. Rather than being a standard modern textbook, the volume functions primarily as an annotated archival compilation. It contains high-quality reproductions of original 1930s product brochures, factory service literature, schematics, and operator manual pages. It compiles promotional trade advertisements targeted at the regional operators and distributors of the era. Dan R. Post weaves these historical documents together with a running commentary. His narrative guides the reader through the technological evolutions, stylistic designs, and corporate history of the Mills Novelty Company across the decade. N° de réf. du vendeur DD-0562-15590
