Handheld History

A Handheld History celebrates forty years of portable gaming, from Gunpei Yokoi's Game & Watch to today's blockbuster handhelds. This beautifully illustrated collection of essays and art reconnects you to childhood gaming memories—trading Pokémon in playgrounds, sharing Miis on subways, and those long car journeys powered by AA batteries. Packed with contributions from gaming's most compelling voices, it's an unmissable tribute to the device you keep close, right in your jacket pocket.
