3 | An Idea Book, Not a How-To | I selected this title with the expectation of getting an introduction on game design. The title and description suggest that this is a book about designing games (strategy, behind the scenes architecture, etc.) and not a tome full of code and snippets.

5 | Fun read - road trip and history lessons rolled into one | When I selected this title I was expecting it to be somewhat like a cookbook based on a big road trip.
