I am looking for some good online (ebooks) resources about strategy games discussing the gameplay and the interactive aspects of strategy games, and how to design interesting and challenging strategy game.

I found this book (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Guru-Strategy-Dave-Morris/dp/1904705456) and seems interesting by reading table of contents. Unfortunately, I did not find any way to buy an ebook version of it and I am in Middle East and ordering this book would take lots of time.

Any idea?

Is Amazon's book ordering process very different for people in the Middle East? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 16, 2011 at 16:59

    \$\begingroup\$ @Randolf, not sure if you're being sarcastic for any reason ot not, but I'm pretty positive OP is talking about the shipping time rather than just the ordering itsself. Dont forget english is not the first language for everybody in the world \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 16, 2011 at 17:05

    \$\begingroup\$ @Randolf: I meant shipping time, although I think ordering books from amazon.com would imply both buying the book and shipping it. I am trying to find an ebook about the subject as I don't want to wait weeks for shipping the book from USA. Thx! \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 16, 2011 at 17:59

If you haven't read it already try The Art of Game Design by Jesse Schell. It's available for Kindle and very good, but not specific to strategy.

I publish books and ebooks for game developers so if you have a clear idea of what you want please post the idea here: http://www.google.com/moderator/#16/e=7d41d

You can try to contact the publisher, and ask them directly. Google Books states the publisher is "Thomson Course Technology".

This page says they were renamed to "Cengage Learning", it also has all contact information, so you can just call or send an email to ask them directly for their ebook offers.
