I would not recommend Blood Sweat and Pixels. While it does have details on publishing decisions and crunch of making games, it has little insight into any actual game development. It's more of a sensation piece on how difficult games are to make. GP seemed to be looking for design and pattern references.

Absolutely, was thinking the same. IIRC it's also only telling success stories, so people burning themselves out but succeeding in the end.
