Too many anime girl pictures with programming books, but where are the anime girl pictures with infosec or hardware books like The Art of Exploitation, Applied Cryptography, Intel 64 and IA-32 Reference Manual, The Art of Electronics, Principles of Signal and Power Integrity, or The ARRL Handbook of Radio Communication?

Perhaps this will eventually be my motivation to systematically learn GIMP. But then I'm not sure. The killer feature of K&R or SICP is that literally everyone in tech can instantly recognize their unique book cover, even in a super small avatar size. The same thing can't be said for any other books...

@niconiconi Also need one for Introduction to Modern Cryptography

@niconiconi The Art of Electronics is pretty instantly recognisable

@tfb Yeah, I should definitely give it a shot in GIMP.

@niconiconi I wonder if the same effect can be achieved by the cover style of China Machine Press

@ghost +1 for their worst cover design. You know it's a tech book and cannot tell which, they all look the same.

@niconiconi could have been an intentional reminder of tech accessibility, you know...

@ghost @niconiconi 我觉得主要还是华章翻译得太烂，每一个字都认得，拼起来就是看不懂。原版的或者其他版本的翻译，甚至同类书的别的出版社的翻译会好懂很多。

@tfb Just tried The Art of Electronics in my avatar, not bad! Still, I still need to learn more about GIMP to handle the rough edges.

@niconiconi That works great though!
