As an avid midlife gamer with nostalgic interest in gaming history I enjoy reading gaming books.
In this picture you can see the gaming books I own. My favorite is “Masters of Doom” followed by “The Ultimate History of Video Games” (I am aware there is a second volume).
I would like to hear more recommendations from you.
P. S: Note that PC gaming is my thing therefore it is highly unlikely that I will get a book about consoles or console games.
If you like DooM and are interested in the techy parts of it at all, there’s a great series called “Black Book” that has a volume dedicated to DooM. The author is a cool dude and has done one for Wolf3D, DooM, and others - https://fabiensanglard.net/gebbdoom/

I second this. I’m not involved in game development in any way and I still enjoyed it.
