Check Out A Few "Surprise Me" Pages Before Ordering! by Herbert H. Highstone (Oakland, CA United States)  3 Stars
August 07, 2009
Forrest Mims uses a very unusual and unexpected style in his electonics books. You'll probably be surprised when you see that the text and the diagrams are hand-lettered and manually sketched, instead of being professionally typeset and drawn. I personally find this kind of book quite hard to read as compared to the normal engineering book format, especially if I need to scan through the pages rapidly. This particular book seems easier to use than some of his other books, which IMHO are so carelessly scrawled that they are almost unreadable. Of course your mileage may vary, but please check out a few "surprise me" pages and make sure that you know what to expect before you order this book.

Love it and you will too... by Jason Bradley  5 Stars
July 11, 2009
I was looking for a book to help me understand more about circuits and electronics and boy did I hit the jackpot. If you are like me and a visual learner this book is perfect. It has simple, fun drawings to describe various electronic parts and how they work together. There are also quite a few circuit diagrams included that range from simple to some what complex. I highly recommend this book to anyone that has any interest in electronics and circuits.

Not a good beginner's text. by Daxia Move the Stars  2 Stars
March 05, 2009
This book presents itself as a book intended for those uninitiated in electronics, and it gets off to a great start, describing static electricity and electrons and the like. But around page 20, things start to feel a bit muddy; the author begins to use terms without properly defining them, and the circuit schematics don't make a terrible lot of sense. He explains in a rapid-fire manner what resistors, capacitors, diodes, FETs, JFETs, and MOSFETs are, but he doesn't really explain WHY a lot of them are used. By page 50 I found myself completely lost and looking online for another book.
However, this book would probably serve as a good review or reference to someone who is already knowledgable in electronics, so it's not a complete waste, and I doubt I'll get rid of it.
