Very nice! I'm in the middle of writing a book based on SQLite (the overall topic is data analysis with SQL, but SQLite is the medium) while I'm teaching it to students. I used to teach MySQL but it was just so goddamned hard to get it configured correctly on people's computers (I always hated when work had to be done on pre-configured computers lab rather than my own laptop), nevermind the server/client/daemon aspects of MySQL and other variants. While SQLite lacks polished (and free) GUIs, it's easier to explain on a sysops level (with sqlite files being similar to XLS files) without burying students in irrelevant tech details on the way to learning the power of SQL queries.
