A Handheld History, one of the best books about portable gaming, is on sale for 50% off at Amazon. Created by Lost in Cult and Retro Dodo, A Handheld History explores the rich history of portable consoles and the major games that they are remembered by. A Handheld History has never been on sale for this cheap, so snag this entertaining and insightful hardcover book for $20 while you can. If you're shopping for a retro gamer this holiday, A Handheld History would be an awesome gift.
