Reviewer: Harry Fairhead Rating: 5 out of 5
Verdict: Overall this is a very good book if you want some examples of how to get a model working on TensorFlow Lite. If you expect the book to simply guide you through some sort of commercial or "real" implementation of any particular project then this is not the book for you - I also doubt that such a book could exist.
