Wade Ripkowski ，

Great quality book pack with information。 Interesting to see how components are made and how they work internally。 I was hoping for more full board photos but that doesn’t detract from the book at all。

Finally got my hardcover copy！ Beautiful to flip through every page。 Probably the best "coffee table" book for an engineering company， especially one in hardware。 Loved flipping through each section Finally got my hardcover copy！ Beautiful to flip through every page。 Probably the best "coffee table" book for an engineering company， especially one in hardware。 Loved flipping through each section 。。。more

Fantastic photography of the insides of components and assemblies。 Interesting text， but oh man， the pictures。 See the inner beauty of the colorful blobs inside the things that make your life work。

（I've just finished the early-access PDF， but will try to follow up when the print edition arrives。）Basically， this is "Modernist Cuisine" for electronic components， from the latest modern cellphone parts and advanced connectors， back through nixie tubes and core memory。 Intricately dismantled and photographed （there's a "behind the scenes" epilogue with details） with enough detail in the text for the context of each piece （what it was for， and what replaced it。）Aside from the impressive precisi （I've just finished the early-access PDF， but will try to follow up when the print edition arrives。）Basically， this is "Modernist Cuisine" for electronic components， from the latest modern cellphone parts and advanced connectors， back through nixie tubes and core memory。 Intricately dismantled and photographed （there's a "behind the scenes" epilogue with details） with enough detail in the text for the context of each piece （what it was for， and what replaced it。）Aside from the impressive precision of these components （though there are exceptions， a particularly poorly made coax cable is roasted by the authors） the photography is really notable for bringing out glorious color in these components - sometimes included for manufacturing reasons， sometimes an artifact of the materials themselves - but normally not seen by human eyes at all， safely enclosed in plastic， ceramic， or metal boxes。While it will definitely be a "geek coffee table book" for me， I would very much have appreciated it when I was 12 years old and first getting into electronics （though this particular book would have been about half the length， 7-segment LEDs were a Cool New Thing at that point。） 。。。more
