I ordered this book during it's presale a while back, as a gift for my Dad. I was expecting it to be a standard coffee table book—some pretty pictures, you set it somewhere and it looks neat, but you don't refer back to it. But now, as I've gotten deeper into digital and analog circuits, I keep referring back to it since I'm a visual learner—it has just enough description to whet the appetite, but the visuals are impeccable, illustrating the physical mechanism behind each bit of electronics in the book. I bought another one for myself a couple months ago and have it sitting near my workbench, and I've already referred to it three times since then.
