There aren't many books on the topic, so I decided to buy this one. I'm sad to say that I was disappointed in the quality of the content and the quality of the book printing/binding.First we will talk about the quality of the content:-The programs included are a bit long-winded for clarity, which is fine. What isn't okay is comments on lines that were copied and pasted and never updated (i.e. not changing high to low in a comment).-The terminology used is sometimes wrong and the schematics often show LEDs backwards. Pinouts for LCD experiments change between codes forcing code alteration or re-wiring.- One entire chapter had figure captions with the wrong figures! A once over of a pre-print should have solved this.- The code is "available online", which generally means a download of a zip file containing folders of neatly organized code. The code for this book is all crushed together as text on a single webpage forcing you to hunt for the portion you are looking for.- Photos of the experiments show a setup on a messy workbench with towels, cell phones, and other misc. debris crowding the view. A clear photo should be taken in a clean, well contrasted area.- The content is FAR too repetitive, sometimes on purpose, sometimes as a result of what looks like quickly and poorly edited paragraphs.- The given parts list is incomplete and quoted prices are sometimes far off the mark. Some parts say "Available from XXXX", but contain no part number.Comments on the quality of the binding/printing:- I read this book cover to cover ONCE, moving it between my home and office a hand full of times. A couple of the center pages are already about to come out!- Printing resolution is acceptable, formatting is okay... some layout tweaks are to be desired.Overall:I expect far more from technical books in terms of content and I expect FAR more from a publisher like McGraw Hill. The only reason this is two stars is that I was able to get some basic syntax from the examples and get my own projects running with help of someone familiar with SPIN. The book needs to be re-printed with major revisions to be considered a valid manuscript. In the epilog the author blatantly states: "I am a beginner as far as the Propeller system goes, and I found it rather difficult to understand what was going on in many of the programs I studied." WHY is a beginner writing such a text? While I appreciate Mr. Sandhu's idea of putting out this much needed book, I can't say that it was executed well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A much needed book *by S***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2010* I am reading the book at this time but I would like to go ahead and leave my personal impressions. I am a Propeller user (I have twelve different boards with a Propeller). I program in assembler and SPIN. I am very pleased with the layout and coverage of the book. It is for beginners but it overlaps into a few advanced areas which is good for extending your boundaries. It is well worth the price. I have one concern and that is about the illustrations, particularly line drawings, program listings and others that are printed too small and in a tiny, spidery font that is difficult to make out without a magnifying glass. It would help if Mr. Harprit would make an eBook version available. I know that I would be willing to pay an extra fee on top of the book cost to get such a version. I would not mind if it was a no-copying secured type ebook.That said, I wish Mr Harprit well with his book and I do recommend it. Propeller books are always appreciated. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Some problems *by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 26, 2010* Note, I'm only halfway through, but I am reading it pretty closely. This book really uses redundancy (let's call it a teaching mechanism), but this gets irritating very quickly. By about the 7th chapter, we have been told it seems like a dozen times that the Propeller's eight cogs are absolutly identical. Halfway through the book, we are still looking at the same simple LED blink example listed over and over, with the same explanation about PUB and PRI methods. The term Object is defined several times, and so on.Also, there is some poor proofreading. In a (repeated) schematic, an LED "points" the wrong way (or is connected to the wrong power rail). One reused example code wherein a couple of code line changes are made still has the comments against them for the previous example. A chapter supposedly dealing with thouroughly understand a single gog concludes mysteriously with a multi-cog example. A photo is referenced as a schematic, and vice versa.But, if you can get past the irritations, it's not too bad. I have gained some insight, and expect the hardware interfacing chapters to be better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/3902099-programming-the-propeller-with-spin-a-beginners-guide-to-parallel](https://www.desertcart.in/products/3902099-programming-the-propeller-with-spin-a-beginners-guide-to-parallel) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
