AVR-Chat

The book turned up today from the States.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201914654/103-4320452-0332615?v=glance

In the brief read which I have had so far I am quite impressed. The info 
seems very well presented, being Addison-Wesley based it is of what 
appears to be a high standard.

More than can be said for a lot of the rest written about computing. 
They should be written on softer paper as then they would at least be 
useful for one thing...

Cheers ;-)
