[game_preservation] Personal stories?

[Henry Lowood]

Scott,
Yes, at least one book, and I think maybe several.
The one I remember was published maybe 5-7 years ago and consisted of a 
bunch of short essays mostly by writers about how various video games 
had affected them.  It was not an academic project, but a trade book, if 
I recall correctly.  And I can't remember the title or publisher!
