Easy PIC'n is very elementary, that makes it pretty time efficient. 8 x 10 inches, 1/2 in thick. Programming & Customizing PICmicro Microcontrollers, 2nd Edition by Michael Predko Is very thorough. It also has a CD with much code already keyed in and ready to go. There is also a PC board if you would care to build your own PIC programmer. 9 x 7 inches, 1-1/2 inches thick. An awful lot for your money! I don't know about the other book. Both of these have been very useful to me.
