[sdiy] Re: Electronics lessons

[Stephen Lenham]

I second that - don't hesitate to buy a copy of Art of Electronics. It's 
excellent - the only book I bought while doing my EE degree (wouldn't 
necessarily recommend that, though it didn't do me any harm). Can't think of 
any other textbooks then which: 

 - would still be useful 11 years on.
 - can be dipped into for five minutes just for pleasure.
 - manage to convey the thrill of doing something smart/efficient/crazy with 
circuitry like A of E. 

Go on - buy it. Blame us - we told you to do it ;-)
