Hi,
I'm relatively new to conlanging. I just started reading "The Art of Language Invention" by David Peterson. What books should I read after that?
Thanks,
conlangernoob

Re: Book suggestions
I always really liked the Language Construction Kit as a conlanging introduction and Describing Morphosyntax as a intermediate level book on morphosyntax.

Thanks! Does the language construction kit contain anything that the Peterson book would miss?

Re: Book suggestions
The free online version is more hands on and contains less distraction, IMHO. But I can't really judge for the books. It's been some time since I read them.
