Review: A book loaded with great ideas

I grew up doing exactly what this book says not to do. I played the computer and video games almost exclusively in my free time. When I was in school, I was normally deep into a fantasy book and never did any of these games unless a teacher forced them on me. That being said I turned out fine so I disagree with some of the points made in the book.As for the book itself, its very well wrote and I only saw one formatting error. Most of the games listed I had of course heard about, but never knew the rules to, so it was interesting to read through and see how the games were played. I also enjoyed the artwork but do feel that some more would have been nice. A visual representation to show kids how the game should be played. In my case, I have never played these games so I'm not even sure how they would be played beyond the descriptions.Otherwise, I think the book is well worth looking through and keeping on hand for parents. However, I encourage the author to set the book up through a POD printing site to get the book in print. This is one that I would rather have in print for kids to look through more than as an E-book.
