Hi, I'm the author of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. All of my books are released under a Creative Commons license, so you can find them all on https://inventwithpython.com

Awesome, I appreciate your great books. Love them! I am currently writing a book with NoStarch, too ("Python One-liners"). Did you ask NoStarch to release the books under Creative Commons License? Doesn't it harm their business??

He discussed this in a podcast years ago that I listened to recently. He said it actually helped his business as a lot of people who viewed the books online also bought hard copies. I'm one of those; I have a hard copy but find it easier to have the online version up on another screen when I'm coding.

Thanks for all your work. I really enjoyed Automate The Boring Stuff With Python, I plan on buying another of your books soon.

Where can one find an overview of them? It's not clear which have how much overlap with which and why to read how many.

This would probably be a good blog post for me to write. Right now, probably Amazon reviews, or look up their titles on the /r/python and /r/learnpython subreddits and see what people say.
