> fully document all Sega arcade games

That doesn't sound like a very reasonable scope.
Just look at Sixtoe's system16.com, how many arcade games did sega procuce over twenty-ish years ?
This book chooses a very narrow focus on purpose, with the pop-up gimmick - that's not for everyone.
I've read books which try to document the whole lifecycle of a console (PC Engine and SNES for example) and they're boring, reading like a superficial catalog.
Those super scaler games are iconic and covering them as industrial objects is interesting, not something you can find on a million articles on the web.
ROM has proved they can dig up exclusive inside info, not just copy-paste stale stuff.
Hopefully if the book is a hit they will do more (I'd like one about model2 machines like top skater & co).

TLDR I accept the quality over quantity approach even if I would like them to aim higher. Still a little afraid they would miss info that MAME / collector enthusiasts have dug up over the years !
