The Art of Language Invention: From Horse-Lords to Dark Elves, the Words Behind World-Building by David J. PetersonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Only "unfinished" because I stalled out and need to move on to other books. I got the gist of this and I'm unlikely to be creating a fully-formed CONLANG anytime soon, but it's fun to read about what goes into making "alien languages" realistic. It does seem like a great deal of work for what is essentially a glorified hobby, but whatever floats your boat.....
