Thomas Henry's "reprints" book

Since we are dealing with opinions here, I would like to respectfully
disagree.  What you have said is true that some of the circuits use the CEM
and SSM chips.  for example, there are 3 EG circuits, one CEM, one SSM, and
one discrete.  The real value in the book for me is the explanations that
accompany the circuits.  And, many of the chips used in the circuits are
still indeed available.  So far, I have felt like I got my moneys worth
from the book.  Perhaps, it might be a disappointment to some of you guys
experienced enough to design your own circuits.  For a non-engineer like
myself, it is full of good info.
