Editorial Reviews

Review

'Its readers will benefit from its wealth of easily assimilated information, and repairs hitherto thought impossible will speedily become routine. And the first may well cover its purchase price. Congratulations on a comprehensive, well-written and lucid work' Electronics Informer
'Interesting, entertaining and useful for both practitioners and teachers. All round a satisfying book which deserves to be considered as a tool rather than an ornament collecting dust on the shelf.'
