They probably don't do it here anymore (I got a pile of them a long
time ago when the supplier's cupboards were cleaned out). Even
several years ago enquiring for information at micro suppliers one
of the first questions you'd be asked was whether you had access
to the web or a BBS. If no then you'd be reluctantly given printed
material. Nowadays there's so much on the web or CD the only
books I open regularly are the device manuals. I'm not saying those
old books don't have any value of course, but they are getting on
a bit. It's much better to use more recent code (specific to 16-bit
cores for example). And how have the chip specs changed in 10
years that affects code or interfaces ?
