I looked at sample chapter, the fonts and layout are visually repulsive.

This made me have a look and I do like it a lot.
The wide margins remind me of university coursebooks.

Sir, you have a knack for inspiring commentary: the exact opposite of damning with faint praise! Also 0% slop it made me pre-order the book immediately.

This is a much better introduction to circuits than most. You actually get a bit of depth rather than a cookbook of "do this to get that" sort of prose.

Super looking forward to it. Got it on preorder in Europe! Will still be a bit of a waiting time.
Always enjoy reading the blog posts, and this seems like a great way to support work that gives me joy. Who knows, might start picking up actual electronics as side projects. Hardware work seems like such a great way to get code into the physical world.

The artwork on the cover should come with a health and safety notice :D
