Editing List of books

This article is a list of '''editing, fictional, non-fictional, programming, and strategy books''' focusing on the [[classic Doom]] series of games and closely related subjects, including later games in the Doom series such as [[Doom 3]] and [[Doom (2016)]]. Books about the classic Doom were popular in the early- to mid-nineties, at the height of Doom's popularity. Many included {{wp|CD-ROM}}s with [[editing utility|editing utilities]], [[WAD]] files, game resources, graphical maps of the game levels, and other items of interest to players and editors. The [[shareware]] versions of the games were also a frequent pack-in.

== Programming ==
Books on programming took a technical point of view, focusing on entry-level programming and advanced topics. Such books usually only approached ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]''-level raycasting technology in their provided example implementations, as the {{wp|binary space partitioning}} and screenspace clipping algorithms used by Doom were still practical trade secrets at the time. The focus on {{wp|MS-DOS}} programming leaves these books something of a historical curiosity in the present day. These books almost always include a CD with resources, but are often aimed at the creation of a new game and may include extensive source code files.
