There are many books (and magazine articles) written about these.

While I don't have a directly useful list, one source I can recommend is Humble Bundle (humblebundle.com), which also runs book bundle sales (where sometimes the topic is gaming). I've seen it have some game related book bundles over the years.

Another site to keep an eye on is Story Bundle (storybundle.com), which is somewhat similar to Humble Bundle, but focuses only on books.

Unfortunately, the bundles on these sites are always available only for a limited time.

While not something to read, I really enjoy GDC classic game postmortems. One of my favourites is Populous. [1] I find it fascinating how such a successful game came out of experimentation without a real plan ahead of time.
