This review is from: Electronics Pocket Handbook, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

This little book is packed with plenty of great information, tables, charts, formulas, defenitions, math, plenty of circuits, analysis methods and more. Plenty of advanced topics, its not cryptic to newbies and if you are an experienced engineer it wont bore you either. I think this book is worth every penny and then some.

This review is from: Electronics Pocket Handbook, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

There is some dated materials in the Electronics Pocket Handbook, but the majority of the information is quite relevant and informative.
There are pleanty of tables for quick calculations and several short explainations of some concepts in electronics.

However, those with weak eyesight should use a mangifying glass with this book. It wouldn't be a "Pocket Handbook" if it was in Large Print.
