<li><p>Richard Bartle <em>Designing Virtual Worlds</em> (<a class="reference external" href="http://www.amazon.com/Designing-Virtual-Worlds-Richard-Bartle/dp/0131018167">amazon page</a>) - Essential reading for the design of any persistent game
world, written by the co-creator of the original game <em>MUD</em>. Published in 2003 but its still as
relevant now as when it came out. Covers everything you need to know and then some.</p>
<p>When the rights to Designing Virtual Worlds returned to him, Richard Bartle made the PDF of his Designing Virtual Worlds freely available through his own website (<a class="reference external" href="https://mud.co.uk/dvw/">Designing Virtual Worlds</a>). A direct link to the PDF can be found <a class="reference external" href="https://mud.co.uk/richard/DesigningVirtualWorlds.pdf">here</a>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Zed A. Shaw <em>Learn Python the Hard way</em> (<a class="reference external" href="https://learnpythonthehardway.org/">homepage</a>) - Despite
the imposing name this book is for the absolute Python/programming beginner. One learns the language
by gradually creating a small text game! It has been used by multiple users before moving on to
Evennia. <em>Update: This used to be free to read online, this is no longer the case.</em></p></li>
<li><p>David M. Beazley <em>Python Essential Reference (4th ed)</em> (<a class="reference external" href="http://www.amazon.com/Python-Essential-Reference-David-Beazley/dp/0672329786/">amazon
page</a>) - Our
recommended book on Python; it not only efficiently summarizes the language but is also an excellent
reference to the standard library for more experienced Python coders.</p></li>
<li><p>Luciano Ramalho, <em>Fluent Python</em> (<a class="reference external" href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032519.do">oreilly
page</a>) - This is an excellent book for experienced
Python coders willing to take their code to the next level. A great read with a lot of useful info
also for veteran Pythonistas.</p></li>
<li><p>Richard Cantillon <em>An Essay on Economic Theory</em> (<a class="reference external" href="http://mises.org/books/essay_on_economic_theory_cantillon.pdf">free
pdf</a>) - A very good English
translation of <em>Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en Général</em>, one of the foundations of modern
economic theory. Written in 1730 but the translation is annotated and the essay is actually very
easy to follow also for a modern reader. Required reading if you think of implementing a sane game
economic system.</p></li>
