Talking 'Hands-On Booting': great new in-depth book on how multi-boot, UEFI works


I've always wanted to learn every last tiny detail of how booting works
Both old by BIOS and 'new' UEFI

This book is worth buying!
Although the first part (very old obsolete OS's & bios) may feel tedious,
there's TONS of current and useful details in later chapters.

Bottom line, if you'd like to be an expert at fixing absolutely any booting problem, I'd suggest knowing EVERYTHING in this book

ISBN 978-1484258897

That looks like a fine book to add to my collection. Thanks!

Amusingly, I searched by the ISBN and the first such offerings were places to pirate it. I found the Amazon link and tossed it into my 'wish list' for when I've got enough items to warrant a larger package.
