An easy introduction for the basic electronics
| Customer Rating:  | | This book gives an accessible starting point to comprehend the use and logic of basic electronics. Good for young novices as well as older newcomers like myself. Recommendable. |
Excellent introductory text
| Customer Rating: | | Its been over 20 years since I had any electrical engineering classes, but it only took about 20 pages to bring me back up to speed on the basics. Before the book was through, I got not only the information that I was looking for, but learned a few things that I hadn't known I needed to know. |
Saved Me in Navy Electronics Training
| Customer Rating: | This was the first book on electronics I ever remember buying. I "discovered" it at the local Radio Shack in the early 80's while attending Navy electronics training. Thankfully this book and its writer, Forrest M. Mims, III made the challenging world of electronics accessible and best yet, fun. With the help of this book, I survived the Navy's training (thank you Forrest!) and it sparked a love for electronics that continues to this day.
Especially good for beginners, I strongly recommend this book for anyone looking to feed their electronics interest. In just 128 pages, Mr. Mims with his simple writing style, great explanations and numerous easy-to-make circuits makes the magic of electronics seem possible. Buy several copies because once you read it, you will want to share it. Just be sure to always have at least one copy for yourself.

Must have
| Customer Rating: | | I have just started the hobby of electronics. There is a lot to learn and this book is a must have. It is in an interesting printing format, handwritten notebook style, I like this style, just different. Again a must have. |
Best used as a refresher outline of sorts
| Customer Rating: |
Not to dimish alot of the fine points of the book. Simple writing, straightforward illustrations and down to earth examples. Only problem I had was that it's a do-or-die book i.e. the whole thing is pretty cumulative and each page building on the one before it. Terms and concepts are explained once and then you move on. If you don't fully understand the idea from what's written in the section, you're left "up the creek without a paddle" so to speak. The author lost me by Capacitators on page 32.
But it would be great in conjuction with another book as a supplemental.-- Isaac Dayan |
