While I feel I owe some viral-marketing in return for the crutch, especially as I'm pushing the "Fair Use" envelope, I also owe readers -- particularly those who reply -- the whole story.
In that spirit I'd say I'd recommend GD:T&P (the newer edition) as part of a starter library if you were planning to get involved with any kind of project-based, electronic game design and didn't have a base already. A CD that came with the old edition book had a bunch of interesting software and links to further resources from seven years ago, so the new one must be much improved.
Whatever you buy, I would highly recommend buying them via the link provided in the articles here to lend support to Gamegrene itself. >;-D
Touche! Good one!
