This review is from: Making Printed Circuit Boards (Paperback)
I never had any interest in making a printed circuit board, but I now have a need for one. I'm upgrading the electronics in an old classic sports car, and need a Pulse Width Modulator circuit. So how DOES one make a printed circuit board? This book shows you.

This review is from: Making Printed Circuit Boards (Paperback)
I wanted a book that would describe how to make a circuit board, and this book does a decent job of that. Though the book is a little dated, the price is right, and I can honestly say I learned some stuff I didn't know. If you're new to circuit boards, this book would be a good place to start, but chances are you'll have to do some more research depending on your project.
