[game_edu] A book for gaming students which focuses in on production, the hardest part of game development... Have you ever asked yourself what do I have to do first when rolling into development?

[Susan Gold]

A colleague of mine at Full Sail has just writien a book on  
production: People, Planning, and Production for Video Game  
Development by Gerard Merrit:
http://www.amazon.com/People-Planning-Production-Video-Development/dp/1935715046/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1299601930&sr=8-1

It is very short, direct and to the point.
