lots of good cutaway photography of electronic components, lots of good detail about how exactly the cut-away things work

I preordered mine from Amazon (🤮) because nostarch shipping to EU is prohibitively expensive… and they’re late already apparently! Can’t wait to receive mine, I’ll scroll through it like a 5yo reading their first coloring book 🥹
it's great! my only complaint is that the piece they chose to use as cover art is so gorgeous that a lot of the photography in the book kind of pales in comparison.
Is this sized liked a coffee-table art book, or is it the same size as typical NoStarch books?
it's roughly 8.5" x 11" and about 1 inch thick! hard-bound, very squarish spine
Thank you! And thanks for posting about this, I get NoStarch mailings but missed this one which sure looks like a keeper.
