Game Engine Architecture, Third Edition

Cyberwiz

Hi everybody

I'm looking to buy Game Engine Architecture, Third Edition by Jason Gregory. Unfortunately I'm not able to track down a retailer locally that stocks it, but I'm looking for some book stores to approach in possibly getting it for me. This is what I need help with though, I didn't grow up in Jo'burg so I don't even know where to start in terms of sourcing a place that orders text books like this. Any suggestions of places would be greatly appreciated.

If this doesn't succeed I'm planning on buying the book from Amazon (sadly this won't support any local businesses) so if anybody else would be keen on getting a copy for themselves I'm open minded to discussing the possibility of a bulk order to try and save a little on shipping costs.

Have you tried chatting to the publishers?
They have an office in Cape Town and they seem to have the book available. (Neither Amazon nor our local book retailers seem to be able to get a hold of the third edition, or predict when they will be able to)

So yeah, it's either the Kindle edition for $55.00 or maybe check out the publisher

I prefer a hard copy for textbooks because of their nature to reference back to previous material, which is easier to lookup from than on a ebook. I'll reach out to the publishers, but at the moment it seems that I'll likely import it from the UK via www.bookdepository.com

I know that Takealot has the second edition, but I'm interested specifically in the third edition because there's more information regarding concurrent programming which I believe to be applicable to Unity's new ECS framework.

Thanks for the advice though
