[casual_games] Hotter than we knew?

[Ben Lewis]

Allen,

Got your book in this week and it's great! Really a perfect companion to
the IGDA White Paper for developers getting into (or already in) the
casual game space. Highlighting passages now for the rest of the team to
read when I'm done.  :) 

Congrats on the sales numbers and a fantastic job!

When I first approached publishers about writing a book focused on
casual
games industry and development practices more than a year ago I was met
with
more than a little skepticism. I was thrilled when the good folks at
Charles
River Media saw the light and today I'm ecstatic to report back that my
new
book, Creating Casual Games for Profit and Fun  is ranked #2
[http://yp.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/15375251/ref=pd_nr_pg_1/t/10
2-86
45751-2692113?ie=UTF8&pg=1] in sales at Amazon's Hot New Releases in
Game
Programming. 

It really does demonstrate that the casual game industry is pressing
heavily
on the minds of game producers and developers. I know that I learned an
enormous amount from the good people on this list and I just wanted to
share
the good news and thank you all again for your great ideas, kind
support,
and constant insight.

Thanks
