I have been involved with electronics as a hobbyist for over thirty years on and off. I own a book from 1985 authored by Mr. Marston. I still read it for his clear, concise and straightforward format. I purchased this book with another from this author in the series, 'Linear IC' from Newnes Pocket Books-Electronics Circuits Pocket Book. It is a small format but it is justified when you see the volume of information contained. You can delve into theory of operation or just build some circuits knowing you have the info to modify, expand and create more complex circuits. Forget author Forrest Mims books there is no comparison. If this book was in a larger format it would probably sell for fifty dollars. The size itself I find an asset. It is easily taken with you to read anywhere and has a tough cover to protect it's contents. Truly one of the best electronic books I have purchased at Amazon. The 'Linear IC' book in this series by Mr. Marston has slightly larger print. I am so impressed with this format from Newnes and the author I ordered the other volume in this series 'Digital Logic IC Pocket Book' I looked on Amazon for over five hours looking for the best book as a hobbyist and I found several of them with this series by Mr. Marston.
