5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book!, June 21, 1999
By A Customer
I've read other books claiming to be "beginner" electronics books, only to have them launch into indecipherable technical theory. Very confusing to someone getting started! It seems other books were more interested in impressing you than teaching.

This book uses simple analogies and circuits to walk the reader through everything -- his section on transistors is especially excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the beginner, September 23, 1998
By jfn@best.com (California) - See all my reviews
This book is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to get started in the world of electronics. In his own easy-to-understand style, Mims covers the electricity principles, simple components such as resistors and capacitors, then moves on to more complex designs involving mosfets, digital IC's, photonic components, etc. The last few pages are filled with 100 simple circuits, from voltage doublers to an LED counter. I would highly recommend this book - having used it myself a few months ago to get started.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!, December 18, 2003
I bought this book when I was a teenager, and it helped spark my excitement about electronics. I went on to get a degree in Electrical Engineering. How's that for a recommendation! This book makes learning the subject fun. Forrest explains things using pictures and intuitive explanations that is worlds apart from the formal (boring) way most textbooks use.
