Technical author Owen Bishop intends a 3rd edition of his popular "Electronics- a first course" booklet in 2011. He covers all the usual e-basics pretty well, but suprisingly seems to still neglect PICAXEs (or for that matter any specific offering) in the micro section. Owen hails from UK (but now lives in Western Australia) and surely must be aware of the PICAXE educational slant. Who wants to just read about them these days! As we all know, even 10 minutes "flashing a few LEDs with a 08M", can be highly motivational in fostering a real micro interest.
I've penned an email to his publishers, but perhaps someone has more direct contact with him? This seems a tempting PICAXE marketing chance here Rev.Ed ! Stan.
