New pinball book (PINBALL - Santiago Ciuffo) available now

[PinballMagazine]

Hi all,

The international edition of PINBALL, a beautiful photo book by Argentinean photographer Santiago Ciuffo, is now available in the webshop of http://www.pinball-magazine.com. The book features a wide range of full-page photos of pinball machines in Argentina and the Argentinean pinball scene.

Besides giving an inside look on pinball in Argentina, the book also showcases the often forgotten art on pinball machines. Ciuffo’s eye for detail is shown in photos of games with artwork by artists like Roy parker, George Molentin, Gordon Morison, Doug Watson, Christian Marche, Paul Faris, Greg freres, Kevin O’Connor and others.

Being mostly a photo book the pages with text, describing a bit of pinball history and the situation in Argentina, are only a few. These text pages however are available in 13 different languages. The book itself contains English, French and German. The other 10 languages (Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish) are available as separate 8-page supplements.

Speaking of supplements: the book comes with a special supplement Issue of Pinball Magazine, featuring a 4-page interview with photographer Santiago Ciuffo in 12 languages, including photos that are not in the book. This magazine is also available as a free digital download on http://www.pinball-magazine.com.

Special bonus:
With the first 500 orders a free set of 10 exclusive postcards with photos by Ciuffo that were not published in the book will be included as well. These postcards will also be distributed separately at various pinball shows, but never as a set. See for more info: http://www.pinball-magazine.com.

Please note: The book will ship in a special cardboard packaging, which should make sure the book won't get damaged during transport.

Oh and how far off is issue 3 of the Pinball Magazine?

Pinball Magazine No. 3 will have a cover story on Python Anghelo, who recently passed away. I've been working on that since January 2013 and with Python not being the easiest to work with there's still a lot of work to do. But it will be worth the wait :)

I'm sure it will be - thanks and good luck with it.

Jonathan, I received my copy today and all came in good order. Your packaging is first class and the contents was well protected on its journey to our great southern land. The ten bonus cards are great and I am thinking of making a montage in a large frame for a future games room. The suplement magazine interview with Santiago is cool and interesting to get an Argentinian perspective on pinball. Definitely makes me appreciate how lucky Aussies are with the availability of games from all eras but also good to hear how the collector and enthusiast scene is thriving in Argentina. I like how you have sprinkled different photos next to the article repeats in foreign languages and your ads in the magazine are great....makes the pinball world a smaller and friendlier place by having international ads in the same magazine. There is one in there even for Mike Homepin Thunderbirds, great to see!
Now Santiago's book. For someone who started collecting in 2013, this is an amazing piece of art. Granted, he played EM pinballs as a kid, his work shows that childhood dreams turn into reality through passion and determination. Thank you for making his work international and publishing his great work. The hard cover and quality paper means this book will last for many years. The content is mainly colour photos with close ups of mainly EM and SS machines. There are some DMDs but I think the idea was to showcase the beautiful art of earlier machines still in existance in Argentina. The intro is in black and white with a little bit of pinball history and the specifics about pinball in Argentina.
I like the close up shots like the woodrail showing the shooter rod corner. Rarely do you see photos of woodrails so close!
Every photo is an adventure, like the shot from inside the barn with open door looking at a tree with piles of junk around it, dog lying on the ground and inside the barn is a workshop  and higher up in storage is a 6MDM pinball. Nearly every page I turn to there is a photo of pinballs and my memories flood back of my childhood in shops and arcades. A bit like the little boy in one of the photos so deeply engaged with a machine and generations of others
around him. Or the kid with the  cool Cyclone t-shirt.
Another great book to add to my collection as it is unique to other books and gives a nice Argentine flavour to pinball.
