Watch out! Actually, this is a nice antidote to the other carry-on.
When I was a kid I had a book, I think it was called
something like
"single transistor projects". As I recall it was full of lots of
simple circuits featuring a single transistor.
In the UK (& NZ etc.) there were the little Babani books:

notably those written by Clive Sinclair (on-topic!) I found a list
including these books here http://baec.tripod.com/library.htm which
gives you an idea of what they produced. The ones I had dated from
around 1975.
I don't have any of mine here (they're in NZ) but maybe someone has a
spare copy.
