Synopsis
A thorough and detailed clean up and revision of this incredible barn-burner of a book, with new sections on test equipment, tools, remote control, object-oriented microcontrollers, modern computers, transducers, sample projects, as well as completely new sample problems at the end of each chapter., This intuitive, applications-driven guide to electronics for hobbyists, engineers, and students doesn't overload readers with technical detail. Instead, it tells you-and shows you-what basic and advanced electronics parts and components do, and how they work. Chock-full of illustrations, Practical Electronics for Inventors offers over 750 hand-drawn images that provide clear, detailed instructions that can help turn theoretical ideas into real-life inventions and gadgets.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.

  • Best Book you can possibly Purchase to litteraly learn a lot about every aspect of electricity/electronics.

    This book will fill in the missing gaps you might have about inverters, coils, oscillating circuits, Multi Wave Osciollators, Signal Generators, oscillioscopes, hertz, ohms, multimeters, all electronic parts which are on a circuit board and their function, if you really read and study this book, you WILL have more knowledge than any individual person who went to college to obtain his Electrical Licence. I am very surprised that is even available to the public. And the two newer versions of this book are very good if you want to progress further into learning the next level of electronicservice such as building computer motherboardscience or plc logic controller boards from scratch. This Book is a must before going to the updated versions, and I do not care how intelligent you think you ...

    I like the book it let me try problems that I have not done since High school. I enjoy the problems I have to work out.
