I think he might be referring to that big encyclopedic book of
circuits by John Markus. I don't have the original book, but
McGraw-Hill split it out into sections that were published as
large format paperbacks. I think the title of the work is:
_Modern Electronics Circuit Reference Manual, by John Markus,
McGraw-Hill, 1980_. There were earlier editions than 1980. It's
a big book about the size of the typical unabridged dictionary.
I remember
seeing a vast encyclopedia of clever designs when
I was at an electronics class at the technical college in
Colchester. It was a big book of circuits, all just a few
transistors or maybe an IC in the more advanced ones. I wish
I knew the name of that book, so that I could look it up on
the net -- does anyone remember that sort of thing? Any idea
what it was called?
I havea couple of such books. The circuits seem to have been taken partly
from IC application notes, partly from magazines (i.e. the sort of
'readers circuits' that used to be a popular feature). Some of them sure
are clever....
