This Collector's Edition is limited to 1000, and comes in a bespoke "ammo crate" package with camouflage wrapping paper. The book tells the story of the "run & gun" genre from its roots in the 1970s, through classic games such as Contra, Turrican and Metal Slug, up to modern classics including Cuphead and Enter The Gungeon. With input from other writers and gorgeous screenshots throughout, this is another lovely book for your retro shelf. The standard edition is also available, and bot come with a free PDF download.
