Hmm I was afraid about that. At the moment of making the order I could choose between this book and 3D Game Textures: Create Professional Game Art Using Photoshop. I bought the Gamestudio book in the hope that it would go further where the c-script workshops stopped and learn me to better program games.

Don't need boring sth like marketing and publishing. If I want to read anything about that I would have ordered another book. Also I do not believe this author have much to say about marketing and publishing.

Although I have not yet viewed the book (will receive march 27th), reading from your comment I think its waste of money already. Maybe if George Pirvu, author of the AUM would write a book, you'd have something to put on your desktop for frequent lookup. Symbolically I will burn in flames The Official Guide to Gamestudio if it turns out bad.
