I've seen that, but always assumed it would be a more accessible account, and not tickle the technical developer itch.

I recently read Jordan Mechner's The Making of Prince of Persia, and while it was interesting, it wasn't what I'd hoped for. It was a biography covering his life during the creation of the game, and very little about the internals and technology of it. That's fine, but for my tastes, the book that it really was, was less captivating than it could have been.

My default is to expect the same from the FoxTales book.
