this is a good book for people looking to well, have basic understanding of analog electronics. some good things are that almost half the book is about the electronics not just the projects, providing more background information for other projects in this hobby. one thing i am no impressed with is how you might need to look up a few terms in his dictionary, but if you have it or already know then your good to go. i'd say it's an overall good book, but its from 2000, but i mean you could do worse.
