The Forest Mims books were available in Radio Shack.... until my
local RS closed.<br>
The pocket manuals covered topics but one particular good complete
book is <br>
GETTING STARTED IN ELECTRONICS by FORREST M MIMS <br>
which now can be downloaded for free all over the internet.<br>
It is a copyrighted book so I don't understand why it is available
everywhere as PDF.<br>
The first 100 pages of this book teaches what components do with
detail examples drawn<br>
for newbies and then the last 27 pages shows complete example
circuits that work.<br>
One particular circuit of interest is page 105 High voltage power
supply.... 170 volts output from a 9 volt battery...<br>
nothing to kill you ... not a taser... but it will cure back pain if
built as a TENS unit.<br>

to learn electronics, I highly recommend Malvino's "Electronic<br>
Principles." I worked through the 3rd edition, but they're
all probably<br>
very similar.<br>
<br>
Also, you'll want a good opamp applications book. I recommend
Coughlin and<br>
Driscoll, "Operationals Amplifiers and Linear Integrated
Circuits." It can<br>
be downloaded for free. Also, you'll need Walter Jung's "IC
Op-Amp<br>
Cookbook." That's really the opamp bible.<br>
<br>
Finally, at some point, you'll probably want a copy of
Horowitz and Hill,<br>
"The Art of Electronics," although this book is not good for
complete<br>
beginners.<br>
<br>
Anything by Don Lancaster is good too.<br>
