[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

this patch adds my CreativeCommons-licensed book "Science, Programming,
Art and Radioelectronics Club (SPARC)"[1] that covers such topics as
basic electronics, programming, music and game development on Arduino
controllers.
[0001-gnu-books-Add-book-sparc.patch (text/x-diff, attachment)]
[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]
The book is available only in Russian for now.

I thought that it is a neat idea to make a reproducible version of the
book in Guix, so I did.

Not sure if there's any book packaging policy here, but at least a saw
"Free as in Freedom" packaged in Guix, so I decided to package mine book
as well.

I created a separate module named "books.scm" as I couldn't figure out a
better place for the new package (and maybe there will be other books in
Guix as well in the future.)

And yes, the repository contains a PDF version of the book, but that's
not the vibe of reproducibility, right?  Maybe I'll remove the PDF
version from the repository in the future.

Many thanks to Nicolas Goaziou who helped[2] me with figuring out how to
make to work the LaTeX black magic in GNU Guix, and for packaging so
many LaTeX packages for GNU Guix.
