   GameDev BOOK SWAP
  So I will be moving soon (within the next month) and have an enormous amount of books that I don't feel like dragging along with me.  Since the majority of them are game or programming related, I thought it might be worth throwing them up here to see if anyone wants them.  I would like to start this off to see if people want to do a book swap, but I am also willing to entertain the idea of donating some of the better ones to GDNet for the sake of a contest...Anyway, the list of titles is below:Mastering Algorithms With CBeginning DirectX 9Beginning OpenGL: Game ProgrammingWindows Game Programming for Dummies (first edition)Linux Socket Programming&#106avascript for the World Wide Web, 4th EditionFocus on 3D Terrain ProgrammingFocus on Mod Programming in Quake III ArenaLinux Assembly Language ProgrammingStrategy Game Programming with DirectX 9.0UNIX in a Nutshell (edition ?)Learning VBScript3D Game Engine ArchitectureGame Programming Gems 2Game Programming Gems 4GPU GemsProgramming Role Playing Games with DirectX (first edition)AI Game Programming WisdomAI Game Programming Wisdom 2I would be looking to swap for some books on MATLAB, Scientific Computing, Multicore Programming, and Distributed Programming.  Preferably generic (i.e., not 'multithreading for Windows').  Also, books on Finance, Economics, or Econometrics are welcome.Any offers?[Edited by - visage on June 26, 2009 7:27:11 AM]
  Are these books that out-dated?   ;  GPU Gems is still a pretty solid book.;  *bump*   ;  Last bump before I drop it.I figured Game Programming Gems, GPU Gems, AI Wisdom, and 3D Game Engine Architecture would be hot ones...   ;  Right. The GPU gems and the two AI Game Programming Wisdome books might be up my alley. I've already got all seven of the Gems books. The thing is, for me at least, is that I've not really got any books that I'd be willing to part with that would be of adequate value for a fair trade. :|   ;  I've had a few people PM me with money offers for a few of the books.  I would prefer to swap, but assume that I am also willing to sell these books for half the listing cost (as long as you pay S&H as well) if nobody wants to trade...   ;  This is a great idea. Below are mine for swap that I just don't have time to read.

[smile] All my friends think I'm crazy. I started reading books like these way back when I started high school. Five years later and it adds up to quite a few books.I'll look around, but I don't think I have any books I'd want to get rid of right now. This is a great idea, though.   ;  this is a lovely thread, but i'm guessing most people are from the US who have no location near their avatars.if there's any UK people posting in this thread if you specify as being in the UK i'll definitely take a look
