This Book Lives on my Workbench

Overall, this book is really great. It covers a wide range of topics. It presents some relevant theory and historical perspectives. And, it contains schematics of sample circuits and references part numbers of components currently in production. Keep in mind that the 3rd edition of this book was published in 2015 so there are definitely some more contemporary components out there but often they are still made by the same manufacturer.One of my favorite parts about owning this book though is that it has often been quicker, less frustrating, and more illuminating than doing a simple online search when I first sit down to design a circuit. Of course, this statement should be treated with a caveat: I am not a professional electrical engineer. I don't have any educational nor vocational experience in analog electronics, and I'm not designing insanely complicated circuits. Most of what I have learned comes from this book, online forums, and technical datasheets from manufacturers.Because of this, I would say it is an incredibly beginner friendly text for those designing circuits. It does contain math, uses technical vocabulary, and asks you to read a schematic/graph/table, but these are all well labeled, accurately defined, and clearly depicted. I haven't found myself lost because of a simple omission that the authors felt was too obvious to mention nor a poorly defined or ambiguous term. Needless to say, it sits happily on my workbench full of notes and a couple burn marks from my soldering iron.

Informative…

My background: Yeah, I know a little about electricity, some formulas, can fix some wires, use a multimeter for resistance, volts, amps, eric, but want to build some stuff that is more on the microprocessor side, so enter this book into the Amazon search bar…Results - You're going to be searching the interwebz a lot for some of the formulas he jumps into right off the bat. BUT… authors are good at taking a practical approach. You'll do understanding more and more almost immediately. He does start off with stuff most people looking into this would know, so it's kind of a review of basics before getting rolling. I can see very quickly why advanced guys consult other books, but search engines have same info to understand the book as well.

Excellent Book, but Beware of Counterfeits

The information in "H & H" (The Art of Electronics) is well presented and covers a wide range of electronics topics with as much detail as can fit between the covers. Alas, despite the hefty size of the book, not everything can be covered in as much detail as one would like. There are also a number of errors that can confuse the reader upon close reading of the book. For example, the section on PLLs appeared to contain main-body text from the second edition, but the calculation summary table and schematic figure used different values from those in the text. Even so, the book helped me break through a mental block I had on the subject. The authors have a website in which known errata are corrected, so if your calculations or designs don't agree with the book's, you can check the website to see if you've found another error or you're losing your mind. The authors' conversational style never wavers from its intended audience - the technically-minded enthusiast, hobbyist, or engineer confused by other, more in-depth, but "math heavy" texts that do not provide the rapid insight that "H & H" does.I happily owned a first edition until it was destroyed by a flood in 2013. I recently purchased a used second edition and (what I thought was) a used third edition. The third edition is apparently being counterfeited and sold by many "Other Sellers". Beware! The authors' web site details the extent of the counterfeiting and how you can recognize it. Considering how much effort the authors put into writing such an informative book, and how useful it was to me, I felt compelled to return the counterfeit item and am now engaged in finding the genuine article. The "other seller" who sold it to me quickly refunded the purchase amount and apologized for the inconvenience. Hopefully he will return any remaining copies to his distributer with a stern note about this subject.
