All My Life....A Showman

Over the last 50 years I have lived the coin machine business, I have had the pleasure of meeting all of the "Greats" and many of them have become life long friends. This book is my way of saying thank you, to an industry that has given me much wealth, many heartaches, and great pleasures  that I could never have gotten from any other industry, and industry that is sadly coming to the end of the road, as I have known it. This book includes an introduction by Nic Costa, best selling author or "Automatic Pleasures", and a forward by David Snook, Editor-In-Chief of "The World's Fair" for over 30 years.
