Indeed, Bill, I think our book has serious "collector's value" just because of all the unique images. It's not like Pac-Man or Doom are somehow going to become irrelevant; I predict their historical significance will only increase with time. It's humbling to think that 50 or 100 years from now, some scholar might dust off a copy of our book and cite it in a paper of some sort, long after we're dead.
