Hi,

Given there's a number of adventure games being developed atm, I thought it would be useful if we could collate a list of the dead-tree versions of books which have been written about Text Adventures (History/Evolution, Design, Programming or Playing).

I've listed below a number of that I've already heard of. I'd appreciate any pointers to any others and recommendations of any that are particularly good, whether they are beeb-related or not.

Sam.
