I would have to agree, I amy be a little biased because i'm in the book, but
the ideas and design direction that they give is worth the cost of the book
and more.
I have only seen the electronic version so i don't know what the binding
quality is and I don't know what it smells like (love the smell of books)
but it is great. However I am miffed that they were able to come up with
exact same idea and solution for a chess playing robot before i could solve
it. oh well, on that note, i would highly recommend the books for anyone
except for bare beginners.
regards,
m.
