Due to the recommendation of several on the list, I
went to the local Barnes
and Noble and picked up Horowitz & Hill's _The Art of Electronics_. You guys
weren't fibbing: this thing's great! I've only read about 10 pages so far,
but it already kicks the complete @#$% out of the book I previously had. I
give many thanks to those who recommended this book.
The other book I had was _Understanding Electronics_. I don't remember the
author's name but the publisher was TAB Books. I wouldn't recommend it to
anyone except maybe for use as a firestarter. That book sucks giant donkey
balls (IMHO of course).
That's generally true of all the TAB boks. I've found few that were worth even
taking home and I certainly wouldn't PAY for them.
