From Microchips to Moviestars and Mario Books

I wasn't sure which section to put this in, but because it's kind of more about Mario in general than the movie in particular I thought I'd put it here. I just ordered From Microchips to Moviestars, which a lot of you will know is about the making of the 1993 movie (within PR limits!) My question is whether or not this is the only book to exclusively focus on the Mario franchise? It's the first one I've come across. I know there's Game Over by David Sheff and other books about Nintendo in general, but are there any books which focus on the history of the series? Thanks

Well, Mario Mania is a tough one to beat, and Nintendo Power has just released the second edition of their Mario newsstand special issues...

Have you picked one of those recent NP Mario guides? Wondering if they mention the film at all...

Nope. No mention of the movie, just the history of the games, character profiles, and stickers.
