These are the books, strategy guides and game catalogues that i could find from storage boxes so far

You've got some really nice obscure stuff there!

Loserloser, that game book collection of yours is absolutely stellar! The Sam & Max animation reference guide is a notable standout.
I also own a copy of ‘The Art of Point & Click Adventure Games’. Mine features a different cover design though. Bitmap Books have been publishing some great material in general, wouldn’t you agree?
My most prized possession in my video game book collection is ‘The Illustrated History of Electronic Games - High Score! - 2nd Edition’. Presumably out-of-print by now considering I got it way back in 2008. It’s a comprehensive 392-paged behemoth crammed full of historical information, sharp screenshots and amazing box art. Best of all, it’s presented in one of the cleanest and concise layouts I’ve ever seen in a coffee-table book. Being completely full-colour is the icing on the cake. Seriously worth checking out if you ever come across it.
Does anyone else here on AGH collect video game history books and art books?

Bitmapbooks released really good stuffs. However i only collect adventure games related books so i didn't know about the book you mentioned but i'm sure it's a high quality book. Art of point and click book version shown in the picture is a limited editon one and a really nice addition to my collection.It containes code wheel like appendix item (really creative cool one), spelling magnets, grog coaster, postcards...
