The SX/B book from Jon Williams has similarities to StampWorks. It includes more basic information about getting started and setup than StampWorks included. The first 10-12 chapters can be completed on an SX-Tech Board or SX Proto Board, but after that you'll need the Professional Devlopment Board to do the next set of projects.

The John Kauffman book is more of a comparison and adaptation of What's a Microcontroller, and is intended to be a part of the Stamps in Class series. There's some similarity in early chapters, but they diverge quite quickly as the individual authoring styles and goals take over the presentation. 

I'm already reviewing both of these books and I really like what I see so far. You guys will be very happy! PJV won't be too enthusiastic until we show how to do multi-threading with SX/B, but maybe that will come in the future.
