I wish we had the modern equivalent of Forrest Mims notebooks! Those went a little bit into the theory, and had schematics from which you could derive a BOM, all of which were also available from Radio Shack. Definitely a step up from the project kits. There were also kits that let you build things like a multimeter or a radio, good things to help build skills like soldering, even if they were light on info as to how the circuit worked.
