Gaming books

Hi!

 

I don't know if this is tech-related or not, I put this here since gaming is tech.

 

Anyways, me and my girlfriedn had a hard time finding valentines day presents, we wanted to be more original than just chocolate and roses. She loves reading and me...well I do read but not so often. She suggested to me videogames related books like the dark clouds ebook from watchdogs but because it's only an ebook thats not an option. But since she knows I love battlefield and assassins creed and the history of gaming she found some books.

My question to you is, how are those books? Are they good to read or not? Would you reccommend any of them or not?

 

Thanks

I heard the Assassins' Creed books were alright.

Other than that, did you want like story books? Because I have the Guinness book of gaming world records (2010), which was a pretty fun 'read'..

Yes, I do like a good story but I also wouldn't mind something more educational but that MUST be about the early gaming days

Maybe but I would prefer something not tech or gaming related, I would like something more traditional. But yeah good idea
