Creating Interactive Fiction with Inform 7 by Aaron A. Reed is a 448 page paperback (also available for the Kindle). It shows how to create a work of interactive fiction using the Inform 7 authoring system, explaining how the example game Sand-dancer was developed (with Alexei Othenin-Girard) from conception to final product. The first edition of the book was published by Course Technology PTR, August 18, 2010, and has a foreword by Don Woods.

The book was written for Inform 7 version 6E72 (July 2010); the errata page updates it for 6G60 (December 2010); the language has since evolved in the 2014 and 2022 releases, such that some examples don't work. (2022-03 post about prospects for a new edition)
