New games history book. This one's a hybrid of memoir and game company history, written by one of the co-founders of Revolution Software and self-published via Kickstarter.

It's really dense, too — heaps of text and loads of images make it even thicker than my Mac gaming book. I won't have time to read it until July, but as a Broken Sword fan I'm really looking forward to digging in. (cc @johnpassfield)
Front cover of the limited edition version of the book Revolution: The Quest for Game Development Greatness, by Tony Warriner. Back cover of Revolution book. The first part of (a very long) blurb reads "From one of the makers of the highly acclaimed Lure of the Temptress and Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse (and everything in between) comes a brand-new book of epic proportions." Contents page of Revolution book. It contains 35 chapters and three appendices, amounting to over 600 pages.

@MossRC thanks a lot, that was nearly $100 I wasn’t planning on spending today. ;)

@fluffypuffin That reminds me of the mental gymnastics I had to go through to convince myself to buy it during the Kickstarter, despite what was at the time a brutal exchange rate to AUD. I feel vindicated for talking myself into it, though, now that I see how much book — and how many stories — I got for my money.
