Flash Games Studio by Glen Rhodes et al

Review:

This is the absolute geek talk book: from music in games to the Third dimension going through Real 3D to Ultimate 3D skimming through artificial intelligence... Ouf! For serious apps developers.

New Masters of Photoshop by by Mike Cina, Derek Lea et al

Review:

For the advanced designers - no - for everyone! (Do you know anybody who doesn't want to be an advanced designer?) Written by real masters and surely not like some of those drone making books that don't use any visual substance to prevent us from snoring while learning! Written as a real book with lots of images and snapshots of commands and a cool cd too.

New Masters of Flash by Jonathon Gay, Yugo Nakamura et al

Review:

The 2002 Annual! How hard is it to beat your own odds? Well this 2nd edition did! Finally some vavavoum flash recipes are available right in the book - with good visual support and cd. Same magazine feel that doesn't cause mental retardation while reading.

Next: The Future Just Happened by Michael Lewis

Review:

This book is like a breath of fresh air and explains with a tone our community can appreciate what are the REAL models (business) that will make the future economy. Think networks and horizontal baby!

Harvest: Futurefarmers, 1995-2002 (Harvest Time)

Review:

Amy Franceschini (founder of FutureFarmers) is one of the best designer out there who has consistently kept the quality of her visual designs and explorations to an unprecedented level of excellence. Luv her books, toys and illos.

Buy the book from FF and fetch a cute toy for a bundle mini price.

As a piece nostalgia visit Atlas Magazine, circa '98.
