For a column I'm writing in Electronic Engineering
Times, I'd be interested in comments on
the book ``Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus,''
by LaMothe, Ratcliff, Seminatore, & Taylor,
Published by Sams Publishing last October.

I've seen some criticism of the book, and
some neutral comments.

Anyway, I'd be interested to hear the full range
of opinions. Also, are there any recommended books
out there? The objective is to present a list of
books to people who may be programmers, but haven't
done any games programming per se.

All comments will be subject to use in the column.
I'd prefer if you'd e-mail them to me (at awolfe@cmp.com)
rather than posting. That way, I get to use them,
rather than having a competing writer/journalist use
them in another newspaper. (One way to work it might be:
post the flames, e-mail me the good comments.)

Thanks in advance for your help.
