Great book - the best compared to many others in the market. Most university entry level electronics texts are useless to students - too damn hard to read. Most authors were probably too busy trying to impress - resulting in something which is, yes, complete and blah and blah, but totally useless to students. No, not this book - it took pain to ease a reader into the material. But, unfortunately, the 2nd ed has lost much of that refreshing "innocence" of the 1st ed and conformed to be more like others in the market - too bad.

This book covers many of the topics in Sedra and Smith, but does so in a very understandable manner. Examples are well chosen and clearly explained. Far clearer than Sedra and Smith.

My choice for an introductory book covering transistor circuits.

This book was required for my electronics class and the only thing it helped me learn was using PSPICE. The explanations of the operations of different devices are not thorough enough. I ended up using the Sedra/Smith Microelectronics for learning the different concepts. I used this book for only required homework problems. I would recommend Sedra/Smith, Microelectronics, for a complete and thorough introduction into electronics and semiconductor devices.

Topics are not well-put in this textbook. It is not really helpful. There are much better electronics books out there.
