The Hardware Startup

Great book to understand the elements of a hardware startup and how the ecosystem has evolved, from the artisans of the past to the internet and the arrival of the maker revolution. The book's authors intent to be the equivalent to the Lean Startup for SaaS but in reality is more of a complement and you should explore more authors to get a wider understanding of entreprenership. The people from YCombinator are a good start (Sam Altman, Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston). Also Steve Blank (The creator of the costumer development approach) and Alexander Osterwalder (Business model canvas) to name a few.
