The CRPG Book: A Guide to Computer Role-Playing Games Expanded Edition

Definitive

This is the definitive guide to CRPGs and a must-have for genre fans. It is HUGE, with an encyclopaedic history through four decades, from Beneath Apple Manor to Pillars of Eternity. Even some expansions, like my all-time favourite Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, get the full spread treatment here.

An essential purchase for CRPG fans

Felipe Pepe's compilation of reviews and commentary is an essential purchase for fans of CRPGs. This isn't a "best of"... this game covers everything from bad to good, discusses what made the games notable in the history of the genre. It is filled with beautiful art and screenshots. You can pick up the PDF for free if you want to peruse it first, but there's nothing quite like holding this mammoth book in your hands.

Wow

What a glorious thing to own, immediately one of the nicest books I own and sure to impress the right friends when they come over. Quality is superb from the paper stock to the print. If you're into crpgs, this book is a must have
