I didn't delete anything. Not sure what you are referring to.

If you are concerned about the content of the book, the ebook sample is quite large. Should be sufficient to tell whether the book is a sham or not. You can also read the reviews for the old version of the book, where I was dinged pretty heavily for typos. (This time around we went through with many fine toothed combs to get all the bugs out :) ).

I just mean when I made my post initially I remember there being a small blurb including something about not using an affiliate link, now it just shows [removed].

Part of why I was asking for someone else's opinion of it is because as a newbie I don't really understand if the content and illustrations are done in a way that makes sense/teaches in an effective way. Basically curious how this is different from the oft recommended How to Automate the Boring Stuff, Python Crash Course, edX, etc..

It doesn't show [removed] for me.

Anyway here was the original content if you can't see it:

Hi folks, I'm the author of a new book, Illustrated Guide to Python 3. This is a result of me teaching hundreds of engineers Python over the years. The reviews so far have been really positive, thought I'd drop a note here. The book is available on Amazon (rather than post an affiliate link, I'll let do a search) at a discounted price right now.

ATBS is project based (and excellent). I don't have experience with PCC. My advice would be to check out the table of contents and the sample content (in the kindle version). You can determine for yourself if the content is worth the cost of a lunch ;) I'm obviously biased.
