I'll second 'Power Up', fantastic book that covers topics a lot of these histories don't tend to (like translation, and game music).

One I read recently that caught me by surprise was 'Dungeons and Dreamers', which claims to be a general history of gaming but contains within it's pages a complete account of the rise, fall and rise again of Richard Garriott.
