Bob Cordell's Power amplifier book

[EUVL]

Congradulations to you Bob.
Looking forward to my copy soon when Jan comes back from the US.


Thank you both so much,
Patrick

Not to tease you guys too much, but when I arrived home last night there it was in the mail - my first physical copy of the book! My wife Angela was duly impressed, even though she'd be the first to admit she doesn't understand a word of it.

We celebrated with a bottle of champaigne. Do I sound excited? You bet!

I hope it will make its way to Amazon and B&N soon.

I'll look forward to getting feedback from you guys, both good and bad and errors. MGH gave me "tear sheets" to allow me to bring minor errors to their attention to fix in the second printing (I don't know when that will be, and I don't know how big the first printing was).

Cheers,
Bob

Congrats Bob!
Do you mind if I ask how long it took to complete it just out of curiousity?

Just think, each bought book buys the paper, but likely also an hour of Mr Cordell's time.
Congratulations with the little one.

Hi Pete,

First of all, thanks to all of you guys for the kind words and encouragement.

I've been working on the book for four years, but the intensity was of course not constant. I began by writing what I called "vignettes" in Word, where if something struck me I would just write it down free-form. Some of these were only a paragraph, many were a page, and some grew to 10 pages or more with time.

Almost exactly two years ago I signed the contract with McGraw-Hill. Well before that I had completed a book proposal and the first three chapters, including a detailed Table of Contents for the whole book. The effort was intense and at times stressful, but it was a labor of love.

Thanks again, guys. I truly hope you enjoy the read.

Bob

In Round Rock ?
Not fair !

jacco,

Yep, pulling strings at the ol' post office again with my brother-in-law. Of course, it's a long ride into town on my old horse, but worth it.

Hopefully you don't have to go Steve Eddy's route (for Jan's bookzine) to get yours!

Just got a message from Amazon:

ARRIVAL DATE: October 06 2010 - October 13 2010

That means delivered date, which is usually conservative.

Price on amazon.co.uk is 20% up in two days, too much demand?
I hope so for you Bob.

No email yet.

Next thing you know I'll be watching the mail lady stuff the super mailbox every morning.

I wonder if I log into Amazon if they'll have anything posted on this.

Got the following email from Amazon today.

Bob Cordell "Designing Audio Power Amplifiers"
Previous estimated arrival date: September 30 2010 - October 04 2010
New estimated arrival date: September 28 2010 - September 30 2010

I'm given a delivery estimate of 9/29 for my copy; earlier perhaps because I may be very close to one of Amazon's major distribution nodes.

Augh! Eight more days!

I've waited 23 years for this book. I can wait a few more weeks.

I think it was a book published by Siliconix called Mospower Application Handbook that I picked up from the local library that had Bob's mosfet amplifier article included as an application note. There wasn't a lot of books on power amplifiers available at that time and I remember wishing Bob would Publish a book on amplifier design and here it is.

Thanks massimo. It will be interesting to see what the quoted delivery date will be in the uk. Has anyone in Europe received a notification?

Cheers,
Bob

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

I was in the bookshop today and there is no notification so far.

 

[Juergen Knoop]

not yet Bob!
Previous books ordered from amazon.com took app. two weeks.
I'm getting more and more impatient waiting for your book..
regards

 

[Bensen]

I've ordered the book two weeks ago at Belgium biggest bookshop company. They told me that the delivery time was approx 4weeks.
Can't wait to read it!

Hi David,

Wow! You remember that Siliconix book? GOOD memory.

23 years? Time's up; now you've got to read it . I'm flattered.

Cheers,
