IF Theory Reader
From IFWiki
IF Theory Reader by Kevin Jackson-Mead and J. Robinson Wheeler was published in late February 2011. It is intended to be a book about both the craft and theory of interactive fiction. It reviews past IF achievements, summarizes current IF discussions, and suggests possible ideas to pursue in future works of IF.
This work was called the "IF Theory Book" during its long development. Eventually after a long hiatus and a change of editors, the book was finally published.
Note: The Glossary category on this wiki was originally created on another wiki to be included in the IF Theory Book.
