With the rise of LLMs and AI based text generation in general there has been a flood on poorly made "books" hitting web-stores like Amazon. These are simply a money-grabbing scheme, trying to pray on people either meaning to buy other books, or being led by the nice (AI generated) titles and blurbs. Unfortunately these text models aren't very good at Nim, so the books are complete hallucinations and less than worthless. The only books about Nim currently in print (that I'm aware of, please share more if you know of any) are:
* Mastering Nim: A complete guide to the programming language, by Andreas Rumpf * Nim in Action, by Dominik Picheta However a quick search on Amazon turns up titles such as: * Mastering Nim Programming: A Concise Guidebook, by Brett Neutreon (the free sample even includes the sentence "Certainly, here is the detailed content for the specified section in LaTeX format, following your instructions:", which is an obvious AI response to a prompt. * Practical Nim Programming: A Step-by-Step Guide to building Robust, Scalable Applications from beginners to expert, by Colton Stewart (this one manages to spell Andreas' last name wrong) * NIM Programming for Developers: The Ultimate Guide to Building Fast, Efficient, and Scalable Software, by Jesse Sprinter (Besides capitalizing Nim the formatting of the book is quite horrendous) * Nim: Mastering Nim Metaprogramming, Unleash the Power of Code Generation, by Jesse Sprinter (Apparently the same author as the last book, however they have forgotten than Nim doesn't use braces in its syntax but they have learnt how to write the word Nim) All in all these books pull from real sources but hallucinate everything in-between, so reading them can leave you with a mish-mash of real knowledge and complete fabrications. Stick to real books written by real people who actually know Nim. Of course I would wish these where actual titles of real books, they would certainly find their audience here, but alas. Hopefully in time we'll have more books to share, but for now stay vigilant about fake books.
