Hello, I´m from Brazil, and I own a company that´s ready to start on gaming biz. I need some help on which book should I get to help me as a guide for producing and developing a game, from recruiting, going trough production plan, production team, developing and delivering the game. I noticed that are several books on the subject, that´s why I need some guidance from this forum to make the right choice, since I´ll be importing the book, and it could take a few weeks to get here. Tks a lot! Eduardo Dias

Secrets of the Game Business (recommended above) is a good one.

Also, though it has an independent developer focus, my book, The Indie Game Development Survival Guide covers the entire game development process. From design, through preproduction and planning, team recruiting and management, development managing, and into marketing and sales.
