[game_preservation] Two books on Gumpei Yokoi [Japanese]

[Jose P. Zagal]

Hi,

Wow, great find!

Does anyone here own these books? I'm looking for info on the 
design/development of Nintendo's Virtual Boy (designed by Yokoi) and I'm 
wondering if these books have any info on that platform.


thanks,


Jose Zagal
