This entertaining, informative title reveals the vision behind the Raspberry Pi and the history of its creation.

"Ever want to build a computer from scratch? For less than $40 you can buy a Raspberry Pi which is a computer that fits in your hand! All you need is a keyboard, mouse, USB hub, an old monitor or TV, and a SD card to enter into the world of home-grown computing. This book gives the basic how-to, and then ideas for projects such as making a retro gaming computer (games made up until 2000 will work), a security camera, a video player, and more. It runs on Linux, which is a free OS, and can be programmed using Python (which is good for beginners) or any other computing language. Get programming with Raspberry Pi!"
