Much of the book is just really simple prompts and then long responses from ChatGPT, that aren’t at all relevant to the topic.If the author removed many of the full length irrelevant responses, the book would be considerably shorter.

I must admit I was pleasantly surprised in the depth and the large number of examples in the book to educate and guide me in this emerging area for myself. I think the subtitle is the best description in how the book "...accelerates your journey from novice to pro".I really liked the meticulous structure with all the examples for numerous different scenarios. They really helped me to advance my learning and understanding of prompt engineering to the next level.For members of my team that are entering this space and learning AI and LLMs, this is a great reference I can now recommend to them.It is now part of my permanent and growing AI reference library,

This rapidly expanding field will require foundational reading for all new practitioners. This should be standard reading for anyone exploring prompt engineering. Highly recommend!

The book is structured well but lacks depth of the prompt engineering concept. There are lot of repetitions across the book. I read till half and didn’t get enough motivation to read full. The whole content may be worth half the current number of pages. I’ll update my review if it changes with full read.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
