2.0 out of 5 stars Horribly Mis-titled, March 17, 2003

By	J. Bosch (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The title does not reflect the book's subject. Rather than treating its alleged topic, modern soldering, it attempts to be an everything book for technicians.

In soldering, your first indication that you've made a good solder joint is the visual inspection. With a book on this topic, I'd expect at least some pictures of good and bad solder joint examples, and photos of the various types of joints and packages the technician may encounter. But, the few graphics are limited to schematics of audio amplifiers and also to primitive line drawings of a few chip packages.

I definitely do not recommend this book for soldering, and there are excellent books on fundamental electronics that are so much better than what's presented here. The publisher should have limited the book's scope and required a better presentation.
