4.0 out of 5 stars
Good solid advice and examples,
This review is from: Game Writing Handbook (Charles River Media Game Development) (Paperback)
Most of the books that I have bought on game development have been in the areas of programming and design. Even though it isn't my focus, I enjoyed this book.
