Me too. I remember the chapter that focused on Miyamoto in Game Over being my favourite part in that book (a book I highly recommend any videogame fan reads, it's really good).
On the marketing side, I can recommend Game Over - it goes into detail how Nintendo got the NES into American homes and became so popular in the West, including the bit about changing the design.
I'd recommend people read Game Over by David Sheff. It details the history of Nintendo, how Jumpman became Mario, etc. etc. It goes right up to when Sony Playstation was first developed.
It was originally called "Game Over: How Nintendo Zapped an American Industry, Captured Your Dollars, and Enslaved Your Children" then "Game Over: How Nintendo Conquered the World" and then "Game Over: Press Start to Continue - The Maturing of Mario"
