Game Design Book
I've finally finished taking the content of my game design course and turning it into a book, "Paid to Play: The Business of Game Design".
It's a small book (I am very, very impressed with authors who have written big books!), but it's chock full of good information, if I say so myself. And laid out in a very helpful, step-by-step fashion.
You can get more info here...

If you need testimonials:
- Of my students or people I have consulted with, and who have kept in touch with me, I know of 9 games released and 5 deals signed this year.
- Also, two ladies who took my very first class back in 2002, this year won the Toy and Game Inventors Expo award for Rising Stars, and they have a game, In A Pickle, selling in Wal-Mart and Target which has surpassed 600,000 units.
I hope during my lifetime to help several others get started on the path to that kind of success!

Hi Keith,
you "contact" email address is flicking back as spam. What is the cost and freight outside the USA for your book?
Just add the book to your cart, then at the cart select your country and the page will calculate the shipping
Congrats, Keith!
Ordered... sounds great!
I have found a more financially sound method of shipping; Priority Mail International Flat Rate (envelope). That cost would be $10.95 for Canada and Mexico, and $12.95 for everywhere else. It's about a 7-10 day delivery.
It'll take me a little time to get that shipping option programmed into the shopping cart, hopefully by end of next week. If you want to order sooner, I can call you or you can call me with your c/c info, and I can ship immediately.

Why is there a $9.95 discount version? What's that for? What's the difference.
It explains it on the site: it is for current and former clients/students. For a second I thought the offer would include BGDF memebers too, but sadly it doesnt. :-(
I'm buying the book anyway, but I'll wait those few days so you can implement the new shipping option.
Look forward to reading it:)
Please update us on the new shipping when it becomes available. Thanks!
the Priority Mail International Flat Rate is available ($10.95 Canada/Mexico and $12.95 everywhere else). But I don't have a way to test it since I don't have credit card from out of the US.
So I hope someone outside the U.S. will give it a try, and call/email me if they have any troubles.

Thank You.

I checked twice and the address is the same I use all the time to pay for my domains and webservers. Please let me know if that can be fixed, so I try to buy the book again. A nice alternative would be PayPal.
