1.0 out of 5 stars
A real mistake.....,
By
This review is from: The Electronics Handbook (Hardcover)
2500 pages full of useless information without any deapth in the material.
A complete waste of money that should have been spent on other books. I've at times tried to use it as a reference, but have always placed it back in the shelf. If you're into electronics design, check out "The art of electronics" instead.

absolutely worthless,
By atlantic1 "atlantic1" (Palm Bay, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Electronics Handbook (Hardcover)
I have had this book for many years, and never actually found any useful information, not one time. Granted, there is a lot of material in there, but there isn't enough space to properly cover any individual topic (it doesn't even have enough tables, or quick-reference data), so the user would do well to look for the info elsewhere (in a proper book).
As a general rule, I now stay away from all of Mr. Whitaker's "books", he seems to have better editorial skills than technical ones, and he always manages to get a lot of garbage published (with catchy titles). Speaking of garbage, a couple of weeks ago I took this (heavy) book to its final resting place (the dumpster), I did not even want to sell it. I don't mean to be vicious, I have seen the good reviews, but I don't think they are warranted.
4.0 out of 5 stars
this a useful handbook,
By LB (Pasadena, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Electronics Handbook (Hardcover)
Unlike some of the other readers, I found this book very informative. Perhaps this depends on your own background and what you are looking for in this book. I am not an engineer but with a physics background and working on an experiment project, I found this book very useful. Indeed it is the most informative source I have found so far, except for the wiki, because it covers a lot of areas in brief articles, allowing you to know about the existence of various technologies and some of the key issues involved. Once you are aware of these technologies or issues, then it is relatively easy to find more in depth literature on the subject, but otherwise I might have not been aware of them. Alas, 15 years have passed, we do not have a similar but newer book, what a pity.
