World Book Day: Your Game dev recommendations

In honour of World Book Day, earlier today we asked our Twitter community to recommend the best book for games developers.

As always your responses were excellent, so thanks!

We’ve listed them below, and if we have a bit of time we’ll update the page if more come in!

Enjoy.
