Great Book.!

You can make many projects with this book. I've tried various elements mentioned this and it has worked fine. I recommend it.
Check out the Revelation Education Picaxe manuals before you buy.

As I see many in depth reviews I will keep mine short and sweet.
The book is well written and useful but the Revelation Education Picaxe manuals are more up to date and complete. I did read this book and it has a lot of good information in it but when I have a question I don't reach for it, instead I hit the RevEd manual and forum.
Overall, it's not a bad book but it's hard to justify the cost given the quality of the free manual by RevEd.
If you are the hands on type and you want a good Picaxe book you should check out PICAXE Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius by Ron Hackett. It uses projects to walk you though Picaxe hardware and software and teaches you good programming and interfacing practices that you will use everyday. You could also check out the Picaxe Project Handbook: A Guide to using PICAXE Microcontrollers series by Ken Anderson.

M2 Supplement Only
erco✓ Verified Purchase•December 18, 2011
A decent book on the PICAXE family overall, but I wanted specific info on the new M2 series. Here, it is limited to a 30-page supplement tacked on to the end of the book. Not well-integrated and not as in-depth as I had hoped. Nothing you can't learn from studying the three free PICAXE manuals. 3 brief M2 experiments on DAC, touch sensors, and SR latch.
