Hilarious...Yes, We Are Talking About Electronics
I know....I know...you would not think the terms "hilarious" and "electronics" go together. However, when it comes to this book: they do! Yet, do not think that this levity means no real lessons in the field of electronics. No, no, no. The authors have skillfully and artfully worked into one volume a master blend of electronics lessons with just enough humor to keep you wanting more. You cannot wait to read each page (and learn whilst so reading). I recommend this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
