I do wish people would stop calling me Mr Dunbar! It sounds like I'm in trouble again! If you PM me with details of your address etc, I'll send you some £££. Let me know exactly how much you want. Thanks.

I find it much easier to read and use a real book than a PDF. With permission I would like to "publish" other QL manuals. Does any one have a view on this?

I agree. Printed manuals do have advantages. On the other hand, they take up more space and are not so easly updated. Feel free to print any of my stuff you wish. I'm happy for you to do this if it makes things better for you, and other people.

Cheers,
Norm.

In case anyone fancies a bargain, and maybe still doesn't have a copy of my book (Arduino Software Internals), the Apress Summer Sale is now on. Until 31 August, get any Apress book for £11.99.

My stats on Amazon.co.uk are looking good!
I'll take that. And this is a decent review from the end of last year, on You Tube:

Impressive! If only I could claim to have read every single page. Both your books are significant achievements. I am embarrassed by my own feeble efforts at manual writing.

As a matter of interest, how many Arduino books have you sold?

To be honest, I don't know. I get a statement every quarter with details, but I just look to see if the royalties have exceeded the advance on royalties yet. So far, nearly! Maybe this quarter I'll be in the profit zone.

Technical books don't make you rich, I'm afraid. Novels on the other hand can, but I can't make up stories to save my life. Tech books need to be accurate and it took over two years to write that one. It was for my own use really, I decided to find out how the Arduino worked with the hardware and the language, so that's what I did. I'm silly enough to be working on another book, along similar, but different, lines. About the Arduino again though. Might as well stick with a subject I know!

Cheers,
Norm.
