[sdiy] Books for young ones

[Richie Burnett]

Yeah, smiling here reading this. I had those books too! The adventures in electronics book that came before the adventures with microelectronics had a silver cover...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adventures-Electronics-Tom-Duncan/dp/0719535549/ref=la_B001HPM514_1_10?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397862518&sr=1-10

Both excellent books to get kids interested in electronics.

After that, I was hooked on electronic synthesis, and I'm still learning today.
