Concise and complete. I use it almost every day.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Illustrated Dictionary of Electronics (Paperback)
This book is the most straightforward and comprehensive electronics dictionary I have found. The illustrations are simple, and are easy to interpret. I think some terms have illustrations when they aren't needed. I really appreciate the fact that the mathematics is not too complicated.
