I'm going to add another point to this argument.
AoE has it's audience entirely confused.
Most of the information in there is geared towards beginners. Great! At the same time, they assume you aren't a beginner by glossing over more complex topics, asking questions you're unable to answer, providing "bad circuit" examples without explanations you're not yet skilled enough to decipher yourself..
That's where I rate this book a 1.
It still, has ALOT of very good information though.

Cool thanks.
Since you seem to feel the same way I do about AoE, I trust those will be more to my liking and I think I'll save up for them.
I think one would be foolish to think one book would cover it all, there are alot of bad books though, and a thread like this can help one avoid them.
Cheers

I am sorry to say...it's mostly useless as a primary text.....good only as an occasional reference perhaps....
At my current level I do refer to it a fair bit, but most of my answers I find online, having a somewhat decent ability at ferreting out the bad information, for which there is plenty.
...examine a book in your local lib. before you commit to buying....
Whether or not a book 'works' for you, and 'flows' for you is a very personal thing...like preference for a particular shape in the opposite sex.....food...etc.....
Trust moi.... 🙂

Yeah that's good advice but it sadly doesn't apply to where I live.
You may get this to begin with....

It comes with a free copy of EWB lol, I knew the day would come when they'd have to give it away.
I thank you for the book recommendations though, I will consider them.

No actually, the 5th edition comes with a free copy of Orcad Pspice Lite....
Which is essentially useless...
Get LTSpice...Free with no limits!
...or try the superior Simetrix intro...free as well.... 🙂
AAh yes, you've recommended that one to me before as I recall.
I do plan on trying it soon, I like that it's available for Linux! Hopefully more will follow their lead.

John,
I couldn't agree more.
Horowitz, The Art of Electronics, should obligatory be read before putting stupid questions on this forum........
This forum has a box to be checked "have you searched?" before being able to start a new thread.
There should be a second box: "Have you searched Horowitz?"
Reading application notes and datasheets of the parts applied would be my second best suggestion.

You know Michael, I got this book on CD, printed it double sided and had it hand-bound. Nothing beats the smell and feel of paper... Call me ancient..😉

Today i recived Bob Pease troubleshooting book, the picture on the cover alone is worth the money!
Best picture is Bob throwing a computer off the top of a NSC building. Next is using a SPICE printout as bird cage liner.
Enjoy it, you'll get lots out of it.
