Book Party July 6 for Better Game Characters by Design
Hello,
I'm writing to invite you to join in my celebration of the release of Better Game Characters by Design: A Psychological Approach. At long last, the book is here! (apologies if you receive a couple of these emails--hard to know who is on which list)
Come join me on Thursday July 6 for a book signing and reading--it's a chance to hear a little more about the ideas in the book, preview the game clips on the dvd, and get the author to sign a copy for you, if you like. And we'll even do a drawing for a free copy!
It's also a chance to visit a wonderful independent bookstore right in the heart of downtown Troy (www.marketblockbooks.com)
When:
Thursday July 6
4:30-6 p.m. for the signing and reading, interested parties can adjourn to Brown's Pub afterward
Where:
Market Block Books
290 River Street
Troy, NY
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you think may be interested--I hope to see you and your friends and colleagues on July 6!
Do let me know if you think you'll come, so we have some idea of how many to expect.
Katherine Isbister
