I haven't read this, technically; it's a large book I use for reference. But it's very well-written and explains things in an intuitive way that I never really learned in college. Much better than the typical textbook. ( )

In this ever-increasing digital world, this is the only electronics engineering source that should tangibly reside on your shelf. ( )

I took an electronics graduate class to assist me for my degree in physical chemistry. This book is amazing. It coveres all components and types of circuts. It is a pretty intense read, but it is an excellent book for any electronics questions that you may have. I use this book everytime I need to build a circut or reverse engineer one. ( )

When I was studying electronics this was the essential, and most practical, guide to the subject at the time. It was also the only academic textbook that made the transition to work life. When I was designing analogue hardware I would use this as a 'cookbook' for ideas and best practice.

A brilliant book. ( )

Out of my big pile of university textbooks, this is one of the few that was useful for something other than passing exams. In the (far-off) days when I was working in the lab, this was in constant use. A simple, pragmatic account of the things you need to know to get everyday circuits to work, without many frills, aimed at scientists who didn't grow up with a soldering iron in their mouth.

My edition of it is positively ancient, but it still gets looked at occasionally, usually when I'm trying to decipher a 1970s circuit diagram and can't remember which is the integrator and which the differentiator. I've no idea how up-to-date and useful more recent editions would be. ( )

Every electrical engineer I know who keeps reference books has this book. It is a classic and a great resource. I will not part with my copy! :) ( )

Probably the best book on learning electronic design (as apart from college texts on what equation to parrot forth for an exam). Somewhat dated in some respects (like microprocessors), but still spot on for a lot of the analog stuff. This must be a good book, I have lent out copies and had grave trouble in getting them back!

Because this is such a useful book, I have two copies, one at work and one at home. ( )

Great book for learning how electronics work. It also helps you transition to designing circuits. ( )
