The cat's out of the bag! My latest book, "The Secret Life of Circuits", is available in early access:

https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/blog/secret/

It's the reference I wish I had when I was starting out. Electrons to embedded systems, 290+ color illustrations and 420+ pages of well-explained theory.

@lcamtuf
Congrats on that! It must've been a lot of work to to all that.

@lcamtuf Why does that link redirect me to 🤢 substack? 🤮

@lcamtuf congratulations. You probably know already, but the preordering process through the nostarch website is comically bad. I cannot remember the last time I went through such a 1999-ish purchase flow.

@briansmith Sorry! If something's broken, drop them a mail, they have real customer support.

@lcamtuf not really a serious complaint. I was just surprised at the flow. I am looking forward to getting the book.

@briansmith Yeah, I think they spend more time on books than on web design, probably because most people shop on Amazon anyway.

@lcamtuf That looks so good!

Are there plans for a UK preorder (postage from the US is a lot)?

I'm really not sure I can keep looking at that cover mind :)

@diyelectromusic I imagine it should be available on amazon.co.uk soon, but if you want the early access copy, I'm afraid it is what it is :-(

@lcamtuf @diyelectromusic No Starch complained multiple times about Amazon selling counterfeits, I had good experience with blackwells.co.uk when ordering overseas tech books from EU.
