Game Inventor’s Handbook, Steve Peek. F&W Publications, 1993. ISBN 1-55870-315-2.
The “Game Inventor’s Marketing Handbook” would be a more accurate title. Other than one fairly light chapter on inventing games, the focus of this book is on selling and marketing games. The author tries to present a realistic (and discouraging:( picture of what it’s like to try to do that. His basic message is that it’s expensive and risky, but can be done. (Reviewed July, ’04)
