I loved these books as a kid. My grandpa got them for me, and a bread board, one birthday. He helped me build a power supply to use with the breadboard.

While I enjoyed reading through them and learned a number of concepts, his books helped demonstrate that I was not going to become an electrical engineer. I just didn't know what to do with it.
