    There is a free beginner introduction game development ebook promotion that is only available for today. July 17, 2016. Hopefully it will work. But, you will need to sign up to get this ebook.

    Just be aware that neither of these are very useful beyond the coupon code found in the second one. They're both simply too short to contain any information you couldn't very easily find within one or two of the tutorials in the Unity Learn section (and I'm talking about the standalone tutorials - these "books" are too small to cover a project tutorial).

    Agreed. The Unity book is 55 pages long in PDF, and very, very basic. It also spells mecanim as "mechanim."

    Hunting the Google bots. For a long time one of my most popular blog posts was based on being the only actual article out their based on a particular misspelling of the subject matter.
