Review: Well written, good value - I bought this book on a whim as I had a passing interest in electronics. I thought it was just a basic introduction, but it isn't. I knew some very basic stuff, and this book refreshed that, but it has so much more in it. The author has excellent economy of language and never puts in more information than is needed. It is in easy steps too. This is one of my favourite text books, because of its economy. It might push you to watch some videos, not because of lack of clarity of the text - but because it insires your interest. Review: Covers the basic components - This provides an overview of many of the basic components of electronics and what they do as such its a good primer to aid understanding of more indepth texts.
