Summary: Great introduction and a great buy.
Review: Has it been a while since your last uP project? Get this book. Easy to read with lots of good examples. I/O, timers, UART, I2C and etc. Covers mostly the 90S1200 and Tiny parts. Morton points out where and what the differences are for other parts. Only problem I see is the organization. It can be difficult to find a particular section when using it as a reference. Reads more like a book than a reference which some may say is a good thing.

Summary: Not bad, not great
Review: This is a pretty basic book, maybe only 150 pgs (minus appendix and section with binary math refresher). There's no index (sigh). It's based on AT90S1200 and Tiny12, but more recent device types should be similar at the core level. It's a learn-as-you-go introduction, which beginners will probably appreciate. So you won't see chapters oriented by "flow control", "interrupts", "arrays", etc., but by example project. But it's got lots of example code and probably worth keeping around even for the intermediate/advanced user. Avrfreaks.com is often useful and it's free.

Summary: "AVR: An Introductory Course"- like, for programmers?
Review: Unfortunately, found this book to be primarily a programming book, and minimally useful from a semi-newbie hardware perspective. Far better, and more in depth hardware and programming information is available for FREE at www.avrfreaks.com
Wish I'd known that before...
