For anyone who really wants to get into electronics, skip this and go pick up anything written by Forrest Mims. Practically anything he's ever written is gold. And since they were so common there's a lot of them floating around used.

- uuyi 5y agoThey have legendary status but they aren’t very good books. In some cases they are quite misleading. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s anything better out there yet at that level. I remember having to unlearn stuff when I progressed past the very limited explanations. Electronics as a subject is one of those things that’s really difficult to explain without a basic understanding of maths and he skirts well around that where possible. If you know how to juggle numbers, probably better to start with The Art of Electronics.
- buescher 5y agoAgreed. In defense of Forrest Mims, though, his circuits generally work and are simple, to-the-point approaches.
