    I saw that on Gamasutra this morning and was wodnering the same thing myself.

    I think it's literally brand new, so it might be a while before any meaningful feedback pops up.

    It just hit the stands. I don't have my copy yet, so I can't speak to the book, but the guy who wrote it hangs out on the indiegamer forum (indie developer forums) and he's a good guy. Always tries to be helpful and give sound marketing advice. His user name is Terin if you want to review some of his past posts.

    edit: There are some reviews trickling in in this thread that he started announcing the release. Most just say "great read" so far.

    My first impression was that it was sort of pricey for a CafePress printing and a PDF. :)

    I'll be keeping an eye out on the reviews coming in. Thanks Doug!
