A Theory of Fun, by Raph Koster. lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 06/10/2010 03:40:28 AM
It's a philosophical little book that serves as a great primer to the concepts of game design. Short, sweet, heavily illustrated, and casts my art in light that anyone can read, understand, and come away with a new appreciation of. I can and will recommend it to anyone.

Then again, I work in the game industry; I'm motivated by more than just appreciation of the book.
