[Suggestion] Consider adding PCB design reuse in chapter 7 #1

In chapter 7 you're describing how schematics can be reused. It'd be really helpful if you'd also describe or create a tip on how PCB designs can be reused. E.g., reusing the schematic is only half the work if I then have to layout the PCB design 4 times.

This is especially helpful for more complex components in a PCB design, e.g., charging circuits, power circuits or MCU placements, which have requirements on how elements have to be laid out.

That aside - thank you for this book! It was a nice bedside read, I really enjoyed it!
