Thanks!

Strangely, I already have good ratings!

Pre-sales? Who knows how Amazon works.

They usually offer books for pre-sale when they know that the wholesaler they get them from (Gardners Books in Eastbourne for my titles) has the title on their system and has made a pre-pub order from the publisher. Not quite sure exactly how it works either, but I find that Gardners Books seem to play a key role - when I want my books (which are nothing to do with computing) to appear on Amazon I find I'm better off having a word with my buyer at Gardners.

Alternatively, maybe there are only 166 books in the compilers programming category!

Your explanation is interesting though.

Whoo hoo! It has arrived.
Not that I am chuffed to bits or anything!

Congrats Norman,
I'll have to order a copy!


I've had two deliveries today;
Vanpeebles kindly sent a Vic20 my way last year, I've never used one before, so time to get stuck in!

Nobody ever sends me any old computers. A Cray would be nice!
Enjoy the Old Vic!


Cheers,
Norm.

Urs and Markus from Switzerland sent an original packaged unused German QL in the 80s to me. I was very astonished, but they just said "This as a Thank You". OK, why not, it was great!

Nice!

Wow, Norman, congrats! I'm somewhat amazed how many pages you managed to write about the little Arduino But having that thing in your hands must be exhilarating!

Cheers, Marcel

Thanks Marcel.

As for the pages, is sort of grew and grew over a couple of years. I've written various eBooks over the years but this one is special.

Book two is about a third of the way done now too, on the same Arduino.

Cheers,
Norm.
